حکمت شمارهٔ 5

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
عالم ناپرهیزگار کور مشعله‌دار است.
بی‌فایده هر که عمر در باخت
چیزی نخرید و زر بینداخت

A learned man who is not abstinent resembles a torchbearer who guides others but does not guide himself.

Who has spent a profitless life Bought nothing and threw away his gold.
