Quatrain 145 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"If you choose my enemy as your friend,
what can the poor one do to you except to be poor?

Do a hundred wrongs, you will still be pleasing;
say a hundred bitter things, you will still be sweet."

Poetic:

"If you embrace my foe as your own friend,
What can a pauper do but to depend?

A hundred wrongs you do, I'll still adore,
A hundred bitter words, I'll still implore."
