Wisdom
Do not take offense at people, you too are human,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Do not take offense at people, you too are human,At times you are wise, at times a fool.Looking at your flaws and virtues, you are often bewildered,Do not be bewildered, for every deed has a beautiful wisdom,And whoever aspires to wisdom will understand this.Every flaw and every mistake that fills mankindShows that God alone is the most perfect, flawless Being.First love, then separation — He Himself bestows,These strange affairs that befall us, beyond the reach of the mind,These turmoils open the road that leads to God.If you do not hate the one who does you wrong,If you do not give up doing good on any kind of day,Then it will become clear that your heart is pure —Perhaps your heart will become pure through such events,Provided that you live asking God for wisdom.Look at the earth — what a lesson — all the living are on its back,And when they die, it again gives the dead a place in its bosom.Yet it has no rebellion — no bitterness comes from its thoughts,Always submit to the Truth’s decree like the earth,Perhaps your aim will be attained above the heavens.Akrom MALIK
