Hekayat 88 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

In the Gospel, it is said: O child of Adam! If I make you wealthy, you become preoccupied with your wealth and forget Me; and if I make you poor, you become disheartened. So, when will you taste the sweetness of My remembrance and hasten to My worship?

At times, in prosperity, you are proud and heedless,

At times, in poverty, you are distressed and wounded.

As your state is thus in both ease and hardship,

I do not know when you will turn sincerely to God.

در انجیل آمده است که ای فرزند آدم! گر توانگری دهمت، مشتغل شوی به مال از من و گر درویش کنمت، تنگدل نشینی. پس حلاوت ذکر من کجا دریابی و به عبادت من کی شتابی؟

گه اندر نعمتی مغرور و غافل

گه اندر تنگدستی خسته و ریش

چو در سرا و ضرّا حالت این است

ندانم کی به حق پردازی از خویش
