Hekayat 102 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

Posted on December 22, 2024 by @hamed 42 1

English Translation for Hekayat

They asked a great man: With all the virtues that the right hand has, why is the ring worn on the left hand?

He replied: Do you not know that people of virtue are always deprived?

The One who created pleasure and gave sustenance

Either bestows virtue or fortune.

متن حکایت

بزرگی را پرسیدند: با چندین فضیلت که دست راست را هست خاتم در انگشت چپ چرا می‌کنند؟

گفت: ندانی که اهل فضیلت همیشه محروم باشند؟

آن که حظ آفرید و روزی داد

یا فضیلت همی دهد یا بخت

Saadi's wisdom here underscores the notion that people of virtue often face deprivation and challenges. It teaches us that the blessings of life can manifest in different forms—sometimes in the form of virtue, other times as fortune. Saadi's timeless insights continue to offer valuable lessons on the nature of virtue, fortune, and the inherent trials faced by those who embody great qualities.
