Hekayat 21 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

The ill-natured person is caught in the grip of an enemy from which they can find no escape, wherever they may go.

Even if the ill-natured escapes calamity and reaches the heavens,
They will still be in torment from their own bad nature.

بدخوی در دست ِ دشمنی گرفتار است که هر کجا رود از چنگ ِ عقوبت ِ او خلاص نیابد.

اگر ز دست بلا بر فلک رود بدخوی

ز دست خوی بد خویش در بلا باشد
