Wisdom
Be a good person, be a good person,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Be a good person, be a good person,Let your face be smiling, be gentle and good-natured.Reach perfection, become full like the moon,Bow to everyone and offer them your service.But if you call on others,Saying, “Be good, gain knowledge, rise up,”At that very moment they will shun you,Saying, “Who are you to put a burden on our shoulders?”Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, the leader of the world,Was a righteous man — everyone loved him.But when he stepped forward to set things right,What words the people of Mecca said, after all!..Therefore, O you who have girded yourself for reform,Madman who wishes good for everyone!Separate your heart from your body and set it free,Build a hut in the desert of nothingness.So that, when all kinds of words and hurts reach you,Your heart will not weep and will not keep aching.When you have done your duty, go far away,So that people do not see your face again.Akrom MALIK
