Betrayal comes from two kinds of people —

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Betrayal comes from two kinds of people —Either a bastard, or a slave of base descent.For it is those of pure descent who grasp the word of Truth,The truth has been this way from days of old.Two other kinds forget betrayal —Either a child of fornication, or a base-born slave.For it is not the custom of the pure of heartTo stretch a hand again to the scorpions that have stung.O you whose nature has been stained by betrayal,Fear divine retribution from now on.O you who are wrapped in Satan’s breath,Weep and repent, for ever and ever!Akrom MALIK
