Quatrain 123 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"When rank, glory, beauty, color, and fragrance come,
in the end, a person's heart is neither stone nor face.

He who is neither upright in character nor good,
neither loves anyone nor is loved by anyone."

Poetic:

"When fame and beauty, scent and color gleam,
A human heart is not as hard as stone, it seems.

Who lacks good nature, who is not serene,
Can neither love nor loved in turn be seen."
