I heard that one of the kings had spent a night in revelry and at the end of his drunkenness he was saying: For us, there is no moment in the world happier than this That there is no thought of good and evil and no sorrow from anyone.

For us, there is no moment in the world happier than this

That there is no thought of good and evil and no sorrow from anyone.

A dervish was sleeping outside in the cold and said: O you whose fortune is unmatched in the world Even if you have no sorrow, do we not have sorrow?

O you whose fortune is unmatched in the world

Even if you have no sorrow, do we not have sorrow?

The king was pleased. He sent a purse of a thousand dinars out of the window, saying: Hold out your skirt, O dervish. He said: Where can I get a skirt when I have no garment? The king's compassion for his weak condition increased and he added a robe to it and sent it to him.

The dervish spent and squandered that money and goods in a short time and came back.

Wealth does not stay in the hands of free men

Neither patience in the heart of a lover nor water in a sieve.

While the king was not concerned about him, they told him the situation: he was upset and frowned at him, and from here the people of wisdom and experience have said that one should be wary of the sharpness and anger of kings, because most of their concern is related to the important affairs of the kingdom and they do not tolerate the crowd of common people.

The king's bounty was forbidden to him

Because he does not consider the opportune time.

Until you see the opportunity for speech beforehand

Do not diminish your worth with idle talk.

He said: Banish this impudent, extravagant beggar who squandered so much bounty in such a short time, because the treasury of the public funds is a morsel for the poor, not prey for the brethren of devils.

A fool who puts a camphor candle in broad daylight

You will soon see that at night he will have no oil in his lamp.

One of the advising ministers said: O Lord, I see it expedient that such people should be given a sufficient allowance in installments so that they do not waste it on expenses. But what you ordered of punishment and prohibition is not appropriate for people of high aspirations, to make one hopeful with kindness and then weary him with despair.

One cannot open the door of greed on oneself

Once it is opened, it cannot be closed harshly.

No one sees that the thirsty of Hejaz

Gather at the head of salty water.

Wherever there is a sweet spring

People, birds, and ants gather.
