Tomb of Saadi |
Here is a part of his writings of Bony adam’s
بنى آدم اعضای یک پیکرند
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوى به درد آورد روزگار
دگر عضوها را نماند قرار
تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی
نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی
It is translated by H. Vahid Dastijerdi
Adam's sons are body
limbs, to say;
For they're created of the
same clay.
Should one organ be troubled
by pain,
Others would suffer severe
strain.
Thou, careless of people's
suffering,
Deserve not the name,
"human being".
