Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| A charmer was selling his honey one day, So that hearts by his sweetness were burning away; An idol with loins like the sugar-cane bound; The buyers more num’rous than flies stood around. | شکر خندهای انگبین میفروخت که دلها ز شیرینیش میبسوخت نباتی میان بسته چون نیشکر بر او مشتری از مگس بیشتر |
| If he, for example, could poison command, They’d have eaten it, honey-like, out of his hand An envier cast a long look at his trade, And envied the prosperous market he made. | گر او زهر برداشتی فی‌المثل بخوردندی از دست او چون عسل گرانی نظر کرد در کار او حسد برد بر روز بازار او |
| Next day he went round the wide world at a pace, With honey on’s head and a vinegar face. He wandered, lamenting before and behind, But not even a fly to his honey inclined. | دگر روز شد گرد گیتی دوان عسل بر سر و سرکه بر ابروان بسی گشت فریاد خوان پیش و پس که ننشست بر انگبینش مگس |
| At night, when he found that no money he earned, He sat in a corner with face much concerned — Visage soured, like a culprit’s awaiting his doom; Like prisoners’ eyebrows on Eed-day, all gloom. | شبانگه چو نقدش نیامد به دست به دلتنگ رویی به کنجی نشست چو عاصی ترش کرده روی از وعید چو ابروی زندانیان روز عید |
| A wife to her husband remarked with a smile: “To a sour visage honey seems bitter as bile.” | زنی گفت بازی کنان شوی را عسل تلخ باشد ترش روی را |
| به دوزخ برد مرد را خوی زشت که اخلاق نیک آمده‌ست از بهشت برو آب گرم از لب جوی خور نه جلاب سرد ترش روی خور | |
| ‘Tis unlawful for you to partake of one’s bread, Who winkles his brows, like a table-cloth spread. | حرامت بود نان آن کس چشید که چون سفره ابرو بهم درکشید |
| Act not harshly, oh master, regarding your own! For a spiteful man’s fortune becomes overthrown. | مکن خواجه بر خویشتن کار سخت که بد خوی باشد نگون‌سار بخت |
| Gold and silver, I grant, are as nothing to you; But you have not, like Sadi, a pleasant tongue, too. | گرفتم که سیم و زرت چیز نیست چو سعدی زبان خوشت نیز نیست؟ |
