Hekayat 37 from Golestan of Saadi

Posted on September 07, 2024 by hamed

Someone brought good news to Anushirvan the Just, saying, “I heard that God, the Almighty, has taken away your enemy.”

He replied, “Did you hear that He has left me?”

If an enemy dies, there is no cause for joy

For our own lives are not eternal either.

 

کسی مژده پیش انوشیروانِ عادل آورد. گفت: شنیدم که فلان دشمنِ تو را خدای ،عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ، برداشت.

گفت: هیچ شنیدی که مرا بگذاشت؟

 

اگر بمُرد عَدو، جایِ شادمانی نیست

که زندگانیِ ما نیز جاودانی نیست
