Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| A Haji once gave me an ivory comb; (Mercy rest on the virtues of Hajis, who roam) | مرا حاجیی شانه عاج داد که رحمت بر اخلاق حجاج باد |
| I had heard that he dared once to call me a dog; For at something I said, was his mind set agog. | شنیدم که باری سگم خوانده بود که از من به نوعی دلش مانده بود |
| “This bone,” I said — casting the comb on the ground ” Does not suit me! henceforth do not call me a hound! | بینداختم شانه کاین استخوان نمیبایدم دیگرم سگ مخوان |
| If I drink my own vinegar, do not suppose, That I care to endure the confectioner’s blows! “ | مپندار چون سرکه خود خورم که جور خداوند حلوا برم |
| Let a little, oh spirit, your wish satisfy! That the Sultan and beggar as one, you may spy! | قناعت کن ای نفس بر اندکی که سلطان و درویش بینی یکی |
| In front of a monarch, your wishes, why bring? When you’ve set aside greed, you yourself are a king! | چرا پیش خسرو به خواهش روی چو یک سو نهادی طمع، خسروی |
| If you worship yourself, make your stomach a gong! And pray at each door, as you travel along. | وگر خود پرستی شکم طبله کن در خانه این و آن قبله کن |
