They put a parrot in a cage with a crow, and it struggled with the ugliness of its sight, saying: What a hateful face, a detested appearance, a cursed view, and a disproportionate form! O crow of separation, I wish there were the distance of the two Easts between me and you.

Whoever wakes up in the morning facing you

The morning of his well-being will be evening for him.

One must have bad luck to be in your company

But where in the world is there anyone like you?

The strange thing is that the crow was also tired of being near the parrot and, bored, while saying 'There is no power but in God', complained about the turning of the world and rubbed his hands together in regret, saying: What bad luck, low destiny, and fickle times! What is worthy of my status is that I would have strolled with a crow on a garden wall.

For a pious man, this much prison is enough That he is in the same stable as the libertines.

Yes, what did I do that my time, as a punishment for it, has been afflicted in the company of such a foolish, self-opinionated, ignoble, impudent person, in such a bond of affliction?

No one comes to the foot of a wall

On which they paint your image.

If your place is in paradise

Others will choose hell.

I brought this proverb so that you know that a hundred times as much as the wise man hates the ignorant, the ignorant is terrified of the wise man.

A pious man was in the gathering of libertines

From among them, a witness from Balkh said:

If you are bored with us, do not sit sullenly

For you are also bitter among us.

A group connected like roses and tulips

You are a dry piece of wood that has grown in between.

Like an opposing wind and unpleasant cold

You have settled like snow and frozen like ice.
