Bani Adam - Saadi

Hits 951, Written by Yama, Posted in Persian, Saadi سعدی, Poetry

All human beings are in truth akin; 
All in creation share one origin.
When fate allots a member pangs and pains,
No ease for other members then remains.
If, unperturbed, another's grief canst scan,
Thou are not worthy of the name of man.


The Children of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.

      Tarjomae ingliseye deegare az in she'r:

      Human beings are members of a whole,
      In creation of one essence and soul.
      If one member is afflicted with pain,
      Other members uneasy will remain.
      If you have no sympathy for human pain,
      The name of human you cannot retain
