English Translation for Hekayat

Two types of people are enemies of the kingdom and religion: a king without forbearance and a devout man without knowledge.

May such a king not rule over the land,
Who is not an obedient servant of God.

متن حکایت

دو کس دشمن ملک و دینند: پادشاه بی حلم و زاهد بی علم.

بر سر ملک مباد آن ملک فرمانده

که خدا را نبود بندهٔ فرمانبردار

Saadi's wisdom shines through once again, emphasizing the harm caused by rulers who lack patience and scholars who lack understanding. His words serve as a timeless reminder of the importance of wisdom and humility in leadership and piety.
