Hekayat 90 from Chapter 8 of Golestan of Saadi

If the sword of wrath is drawn, even prophets and saints would bow their heads, but if the glance of mercy is extended, the wicked are brought among the righteous.

If on the Day of Judgment, the call of wrath is made,

What excuse will there be for the prophets?

Lift the veil from the face of mercy,

For even the wicked have hope for forgiveness.

گر تیغِ قَهر بر کشد، نبی و ولی سر در کشد وگر غمزهٔ لطف بجُنباند، بَدان به نیکان در رساند.

گر به‌ محشر خطابِ قهر کند

انبیا را چه جایِ معذرت است

پرده از رویِ لطف گو بردار

کاشقیا را امیدِ مغفرت است
