Hekayat 38 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

Posted on December 03, 2024 by @hamed 5 1

English Translation for Hekayat

Do not reveal the hidden faults of others, for you will disgrace them and make yourself untrustworthy.

Whoever studies knowledge but does not practice it is like someone who plows but does not sow.

متن حکایت

مردمان را عیب نهانی پیدا مکن که مر ایشان را رسوا کنی و خود را بی اعتماد.

هر که علم خواند و عمل نکرد بدان ماند که گاو راند و تخم نیفشاند.
