Hekayat 64 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

Do not ask a weak and needy poor man how he is doing during a time of drought, unless you are prepared to heal his wounds and help him.

If you see a donkey with its load stuck in the mud,

Have compassion in your heart, but do not walk away.

Now that you have gone and asked him how he fell,

Tie your waist and, like a man, pull the donkey's tail.

درویش ضعیف‌حال را در خشکی تنگ‌سال مپرس که «چونی؟»، الا به شرط آن که مرهم ریشش بنهی و معلومی پیشش.

خری که بینی و باری به گل درافتاده

به دل بر او شفقت کن ولی مرو به سرش

کنون که رفتی و پرسیدیش که چون افتاد

میان ببند و چو مردان بگیر دمب خرش
