Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| A fortunate person, whose name was Bakhtyar, Was exalted in rank and had wealth on a par. | بلند اختری نام او بختیار قوی دستگه بود و سرمایهدار |
| به کوی گدایان درش خانه بود زرش همچو گندم به پیمانه بود | |
| He alone possessed money and stores in the place; All the others were poor and showed grief in their face. | چو درویش بیند توانگر بناز دلش بیش سوزد به داغ نیاز |
| A woman presumed with her husband to fight, Because he came home empty-handed at night. | زنی جنگ پیوست با شوی خویش شبانگه چو رفتش تهیدست، پیش |
| “Like you,” she exclaimed, “there’s no poor, blighted thing! Like the wasp, you are only possessed of a sting! | که کس چون تو بدبخت، درویش نیست چو زنبور سرخت جز این نیش نیست |
| From your neighbours some manliness try to acquire! For at any rate, I’m not a wife without hire. | بیاموز مردی ز همسایگان که آخر نیم قحبه رایگان |
| Gold and silver and property others possess; Why don’t you, like them, smiling Fortune caress? “ | کسان را زر و سیم و ملک است و رخت چرا همچو ایشان نه ای نیکبخت؟ |
| The pure-hearted man in a woollen robe dressed, Like a drum, brought a cry from his desolate breast: | برآورد صافی دل صوف پوش چو طبل از تهیگاه خالی خروش |
| “No power have I over things that exist; With your fingers, the strong hand of Fate do not twist! | که من دست قدرت ندارم به هیچ به سرپنجه دست قضا بر مپیچ |
| On my hand of selecting, the Fates placed a bar, Else I’d have created myself a Bakhtyar.” | نکردند در دست من اختیار که من خویشتن را کنم بختیار |
