حکمت شمارهٔ 49

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
هر که را دشمن پیش است، اگر نکشد دشمن خویش است.
سنگ بر دست و مار سر بر سنگ
خیره‌رایی بود قیاس و درنگ

Who has power over his foe and does not slay him is his own enemy.

With a stone in the hand and a snake on a stone It is folly to consider and to delay.

Zameen
