Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| One had only an onion to eat with his bread; With life’s dainties he was not, like other men, fed. | یکی نان خورش جز پیازی نداشت چو دیگر کسان برگ و سازی نداشت |
| A lunatic shouted, “Oh indigent wretch! Go and ready-cooked meat from the public tray fetch! | کسی گفتش ای سغبه خاکسار برو طبخی از خوان یغما بیار |
| Demand thou, oh sir! and for no one show dread! For cut off is the timid petitioner’s bread.” | بخواه و مدار ای پسر شرم و باک که مقطوع روزی بود شرمناک |
| He put on his cloak and with hands ready, stood; They fractured his fingers and tore up his hood. | قبا بست و چاپک نوردید دست قبایش دریدند و دستش شکست |
| I have heard he was saying and shedding red tears: “Oh my spirit! what help for what’s self-done appears? | همی گفت و بر خویشتن میگریست که مر خویشتن کرده را چاره چیست؟ |
| The Captive of Avarice, evil pursues; Henceforth my own house, bread and onions, I’ll use. | بلا جوی باشد گرفتار آز من وخانه من بعد و نان و پیاز |
| The barley loaf I by my own arm can eat, Is better than charity loaves made of wheat.” | جوینی که از سعی بازو خورم به از میده بر خوان اهل کرم |
| How distressed was the sleep of that base one, last night, Who on other men’s tables had fastened his sight! | چه دلتنگ خفت آن فرومایه دوش که بر سفره دیگران داشت گوش |
