Posted on December 22, 2024 by @hamed 23 1

English Translation for Hekayat

Everyone's teeth become sensitive to sourness except for judges, whose teeth become sensitive to sweetness.

When a judge takes a bribe of five cucumbers,

He will confirm for you ten melon fields.

متن حکایت

همه‌ کس را دندان به ترشی کند شود مگر قاضیان را که به شیرینی.

قاضی چو به‌ رشوت بخورد پنج خیار

ثابت کند از بهر تو ده خربزه‌زار

Saadi's wisdom here uses humor and satire to criticize the corruption and bribery among officials. It teaches us that corruption can distort justice, leading to unfair and exaggerated outcomes. Saadi's timeless insights continue to offer valuable lessons on the importance of integrity, honesty, and the dangers of corruption in positions of power.
