دو کس مردند و حسرت بردند: یکی آن که داشت و نخورد و دیگر آن که دانست و نکرد.
کس نبیند بخیل فاضل را
که نه در عیب گفتنش کوشد
ور کریمی دو صد گنه دارد
کرمش عیبها فرو پوشد
Two men died, bearing away their grief. One had possessed wealth and not enjoyed it, the other knowledge and not practised it.
No one sees an excellent but avaricious man Without publishing his defect But if a liberal man has a hundred faults His generosity covers his imperfections.
