English Translation for Hekayat

A disciple without devotion is like a lover without money; a traveler without knowledge is like a bird without wings; a scholar without practice is like a tree without fruit; and an ascetic without knowledge is like a house without a door.

تلمیذ بی ارادت عاشق بی زر است و روندهٔ بی معرفت مرغ بی پر و عالم بی عمل درخت بی بر و زاهد بی علم خانهٔ بی در.
