Hekayat No. 1: A beggar from Maghreb was saying in the row of cloth merchants in Aleppo
حکایت شماره ۱: خواهنده مغربی در صف بزازان حلب می‌گفت: ...
A beggar from Maghreb, in the row of cloth merchants of Aleppo, was saying: O possessors of wealth, if you had justice and we had contentment, the custom of begging would disappear from the world.
خواهندهٔ مَغْرِبی در صفِ بزّازانِ حَلَب می‌گفت: ای خداوندانِ نعمت، اگر شما را انصاف بودی و ما را قناعت، رسمِ سؤال از جهان برخاستی.
O contentment! Make me wealthy
For beyond you there is no blessing
ای قناعت! توانگرم گردان
که ورایِ تو هیچ نعمت نیست
The corner of patience is the choice of Luqman
Whoever has no patience, has no wisdom
کنجِ صبر، اختیارِ لُقمان است
هر‌که را صبر نیست، حکمت نیست
