Faith
If you remember the Truth, if you recite the Quran,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
If you remember the Truth, if you recite the Quran,Wondrous moments will surround you and embrace you.Intimacy and peace will rain down upon your heart,Your soul will fly happily in the heavens.Neither jinn nor Satan will be able to come near,They will not have the daring to do harm.As long as prayer and the Quran are your companions,Iblis will not have the strength to come.But there is a certain kind of people,Iblis’s pupils — who have surpassed Iblis.Their abode and dwelling is the cage of sin,In their hands they hold the nets of cunning.They will come to you gently, like a friend,Shimmering like a snake, they will twist and laugh.The sincerity that has always flourished in your heart —They will pull up its saplings one by one.Presenting themselves as one who shares your pain,They pour the poisons of doubt into you.Picking out all sorts of glittering words,They tear your heart open and sew it back inside out.First of all they will drum it into you that you are unhappy,“Your fortune is black,” they will say, “poor thing,” they will say.Beside you, as if eating themselves up over your grief,In truth, without your knowing, they will devour you.At every moment be watchful of each moment,Do not let your moments pass without remembrance of the Truth.If you wish to be wholly delivered from your grief,Live without the diseased thoughts of devils.Akrom MALIK
