Wisdom
Rather than see the faults of others, O God,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Rather than see the faults of others, O God,I would be content, content, even to be blind.As long as the tongue speaks of others’ flaws,To have it cut out — that would set things right.Why pass judgment — what overstepping is this,Who is the judge, to sit in judgment!..Let me grieve over my own state instead,For the paper of my record lies blackened…God is the Ruler, the judgment is His,Why poke one’s nose into the work of the Truth?!Let the servant know his limit and keep silent,For safety belongs to the one who is still!..Akrom MALIK
