Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Once a teacher was asked this question:“Tell us, who in this world is happy?”The teacher answered: “It is clear as day —Gratitude and contentment are happiness and salvation.Whoever can rejoice in every blessing,And bows his head, content, whatever trial may come;Without a doubt that person is happy,No wonder if his head reaches the skies with joy!”Again a question came:“Teacher, thank you,Forgive us, we are bold beyond all bounds.In whose eyes is no light to be found,That is, who is unhappy and called astray?”The teacher said: “The answer is clear as day:Whoever has no gratitude and rebels —Though life is a beautiful, bright rose garden,That person remains wretched.”After a moment of silence, the perfect teacherSpoke again: “Such are the paths.But whoever is heedlessWill never accept these words.”Akrom MALIK
