English Translation for Hekayat

God, the Most High, sees and conceals, while the neighbor does not see and yet shouts.

God forbid, if people were aware of the unseen,

No one would be at peace from another.

متن حکایت

حق جل و علا می‌بیند و می‌پوشد و همسایه نمی‌بیند و می‌خروشد.

نعوذبالله اگر خلق غیب دان بودی

کسی به حال خود از دست کس نیاسودی

Saadi's wisdom here highlights the contrast between divine compassion and human judgment. It teaches us that while God, in His infinite mercy, forgives and conceals our faults, people are quick to judge and condemn without full understanding. Saadi's timeless insights continue to offer valuable lessons on the importance of empathy, discretion, and the limitations of human perception.
