Slavery

بخش 43 - غلامی

Poems with the same metre and rhyme: 1

English translation: Hadi Husain

آدم از بی بصری بندگی آدم کرد

گوهری داشت ولی نذر قباد و جم کرد

Man out of his shortsightedness consents to be a slave. He had something in him, but gave it all away to kings.

یعنی از خوی غلامی ز سگان خوار تر است

من ندیدم که سگی پیش سگی سر خم کرد

Because of this servility he is worse than a dog. No dog will ever call adoringly another dog his lord.
