Wisdom No. 79: Whatever you know will certainly become known to you, do not hasten to ask about it...
حکمت شماره ۷۹: هر آنچه دانی که هر آینه معلوم تو گردد، به پرسیدن آن تعجیل مکن که هیبت سلطنت را زیان دارد.
Whatever you know will eventually become clear to you, do not hasten to ask about it, for it detracts from the majesty of kingship.
هر آنچه دانی که هر آینه معلوم تو گردد، به پرسیدن آن تعجیل مکن که هیبت سلطنت را زیان دارد.
When Luqman saw that in David's hand,
Iron was miraculously turning into wax,
چو لقمان دید کاندر دست داوود
همی آهن به معجز موم گردد
He did not ask him what he was making, for he knew
That it would become clear without his asking.
نپرسیدش چه می‌سازی که دانست
که بی پرسیدنش معلوم گردد
Wisdom No. 79: Whatever you know will certainly become known to you, do not hasten to ask about it...
