Hekayat 75 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

Posted on December 16, 2024 by @hamed 42 1

English Translation for Hekayat

A man without courage is like a woman, and a worshipper with greed is a highway robber.

O you who have worn white clothes for the sake of honor,

For the illusion of people, but your record is black.

One must withdraw their hand from the world,

Whether their sleeve is long or short.

متن حکایت

مرد بی مروت زن است و عابد با طمع رهزن.

ای به ناموس کرده جامه سپید

بهر پندار خلق و نامه سیاه

دست کوتاه باید از دنیا

آستین خوه دراز و خوه کوتاه

Saadi's wisdom here underscores the importance of true courage and sincerity in spiritual practice. It teaches us that outward appearances and superficial gestures are meaningless if one's inner character is flawed. The mention of withdrawing from worldly attachments further highlights the need for genuine detachment and humility. Saadi's timeless insights continue to offer valuable lessons on the importance of integrity and the dangers of hypocrisy.
