Wisdom
If he has read half a book, so to speak,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
If he has read half a book, so to speak,It turns out he has read half a page of an article.Thinking himself a scholar, he holds forth,Making himself wings out of nonsense, he flaps them.He always measures his height against yours,He longs to say, “I am your equal.”Never examining his own short thoughts,The scissors of hypocrisy cut his understanding short.Neither truth interests him, nor knowledge,It does not trouble him that he heard only half.Even if he drives a stake into the middle of the conversation,It is enough for him if he can show what he knows.Akrom MALIK
