Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| On the purse-mouth of charity, tie not a knot! Calling this, fraud and folly, and that, tricks and plot | گره بر سر بند احسان مزن که این زرق و شیدست و آن مکر و فن |
| The religious expounder makes injury spread, Who barters his knowledge and culture for bread | زیان میکند مرد تفسیردان که علم و ادب میفروشد به نان |
| How can wisdom with law give decision, indeed! When a man who is wise, to the world sells the creed? | کجا عقل یا شرع فتوی دهد که اهل خرد دین به دنیا دهد؟ |
| And yet you should purchase, for he who is wise, From those who sell cheap, with avidity buys | ولیکن تو بستان که صاحب خرد از ارزان فروشان به رغبت خرد |
