Faith
One should not believe every word one hears,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
One should not believe every word one hears,Just as not everything one sees is real.Just as, though you renounce living by a truth that seems impossible,There is no malice toward the Truth in your heart!That is, though they speak a thousand lying words,Your heart keeps sensing the true word.Even if your eyes remain wholly veiled,Your heart keeps wandering on the side of truth.You say no, you say no — this is not true,But this is true, you say, without a word, without a sound.Your spirit remains a faithful friend to the truth,While your body sinks, wretched, into lies.So fly as far away as you will,Wander the deserts, cross the seas!O bird whose leg is tied to my love,You can never give up the Truth, never go away!Akrom MALIK
