Wisdom No. 16: Whoever kills evil saves people from its affliction and saves himself from the punishment of God Almighty.

حکمت شماره ۱۶: هر که بدی را بکشد خلق را از بلای او برهاند و او را از عذاب خدای عز و جل.

Whoever eliminates evil saves people from its affliction and saves the evildoer from the punishment of God, the Almighty and Glorious.

هر که بدی را بکشد خلق را از بلای او برهاند و او را از عذاب خدای عزَّ و جَلَّ.

Forgiveness is commendable, but

Do not apply it as a balm to the wound of one who torments people.

پسندیده‌ست بخشایش ولیکن

منه بر ریش خلق‌آزار مرهم

He who showed mercy to a snake did not know

That it is an injustice to the children of Adam.

ندانست آن که رحمت کرد بر مار

که آن ظلم است بر فرزند آدم
