Work in silence, never strive

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Work in silence, never striveTo know what people hold within and without.When with dignity you have fulfilled your duty,Your strength and power will be seen by the world.Say no word, do not boast of what you have achieved,Celebrate the feast of silence every day.From what a seed you have grown a tree —Its fruit will be the envious one’s grief.As for you, keep your mouth shut,Do not look — the road has many little stones.Those left behind, who could not catch you up,Will themselves reveal what sickness they bear.And you, in silence, keep on going down the road,Reaching each destination and goal one by one...Akrom MALIK
