Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| Down a well, once, had fallen a champion of fame, From whose dread the male tiger a tigress became. An ill-wisher of men, nought but evil could see ; He fell; and observed none more helpless than he. | گزیری به چاهی در افتاده بود که از هول او شیر نر ماده بود بداندیش مردم به جز بد ندید بیفتاد و عاجزتر از خود ندید |
| The night-long, from wailing and weeping, awake ; Some one battered his head with a stone, and thus spake : “Did you ever the wrongs of a person redress, That to-day you are asking for aid in distress ? | همه شب ز فریاد و زاری نخفت یکی بر سرش کوفت سنگی و گفت: تو هرگز رسیدی به فریاد کس که می‌خواهی امروز فریادرس؟ |
| You have sown all the seed, in atrocity steeped ; Take a look at the fruit you’ve in consequence reaped ! To your soul, sad and wounded, who salve would apply, When hearts from your wounding still, suffering, cry ? | همه تخم نامردمی کاشتی ببین لاجرم بر که برداشتی که بر جان ریشت نهد مرهمی که دلها ز ریشت بنالد همی؟ |
| Since you dug for our service a pit in the way, Down into a well you have fallen, to-day.” Two people dig wells for the high and the low ; One of good disposition, the other a foe. | تو ما را همی چاه کندی به راه بسر لاجرم در فتادی به چاه دو کس چه کنند از پی خاص و عام یکی نیک محضر، دگر زشت نام |
| One to moisten the throats of the thirsty, withal ; The other that people down headlong may fall. If you sin, do not hope any goodness to see ! For grapes will not grow from a Tamarisk tree ! | یکی تشنه را تاکند تازه حلق دگر تا بگردن درافتند خلق اگر بد کنی چشم نیکی مدار که هرگز نیارد گز انگور بار |
| Oh you who in Autumn your barley will sow, I don’t think you’ll reap wheat when the time comes to mow! If the thorny Zaku?n with your life you should train, Do not think that a quince from its boughs you’ll obtain ! | نپندارم ای در خزان کشته جو که گندم ستانی به وقت درو درخت زقوم ار به جان پروری مپندار هرگز کز او برخوری |
| The rare, luscious date, or the colocynth fruit In the seed which you scatter, your hope you should put. | رطب ناور چوب خر زهره بار چو تخم افگنی، بر همان چشم‌دار |
