Wisdom No. 15: Do not have mercy on the weakness of an enemy, for if he becomes powerful, he will not spare you.
حکمت شماره ۱۵: بر عجز دشمن رحمت مکن که اگر قادر شود بر تو نبخشاید.
Do not show mercy to a helpless enemy, for if they gain power, they will not spare you.
بر عجز دشمن رحمت مکن که اگر قادر شود بر تو نبخشاید.
When you see an enemy weak, do not boast of your strength,
There is a brain in every bone, and there is manliness in every garment (person).
دشمن چو بینی ناتوان لاف از بروت خود مزن
مغزیست در هر استخوان مردیست در هر پیرهن
