Life
The one who stood firm in your lonely days, who showed steadfastness,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
The one who stood firm in your lonely days, who showed steadfastness,Who lit a lamp in your dark nights, who showed the way to salvation —No one is as close as such a friend, no one as dear,None so near to your soul, so fragrant and so beloved!Those who abandoned you in your lonely days, who turned their faces away,Who looked at your bleeding heart and turned their eyes away like the blind,Who went off calling you a devil and thinking themselves saints and holy men —There is no traitor but they, none so shameless as they!So be watchful, become a dwelling place of loyalty,Be true to faithfulness, be a well-wisher of your pledge!If one day the whole world turns its back on God,Stand firm on the path of God though a thousand torments come!..Do not put out the lamp of humanity, guard it,Do not let your faith suddenly fall into a dreadful pit, guard it!The angels will learn of your state, calling you a lover,And you yourself will find favor, free and a leader!Akrom MALIK
