Wisdom No. 98: Whoever does not have mercy on those below him will be afflicted ...
حکمت شماره ۹۸: هر که بر زیردستان نبخشاید، به جور زبردستان گرفتار آید.
Whoever does not show mercy to those below him will be afflicted by the oppression of those above him.
هر که بر زیردستان نبخشاید، به جور زبردستان گرفتار آید.
Not every arm that has strength in it
Breaks the hand of the helpless with manliness.
نه هر بازو که در وی قوتی هست
به مردی عاجزان را بشکند دست
Do not inflict pain on the hearts of the weak,
Lest you be afflicted by the oppression of the powerful.
ضعیفان را مکن بر دل گزندی
که در مانی به جور زورمندی
Wisdom No. 98: Whoever does not have mercy on those below him will be afflicted ...
