حکمت شمارهٔ 4

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
علم از بهر دین پروردن است نه از بهر دنیا خوردن.
هر که پرهیز و علم و زهد فروخت
خرمنی گرد کرد و پاک بسوخت

Knowledge is for the cherishing of religion, not for amassing wealth.

Who sold abstinence, knowledge and piety Filled a granary but burnt it clean away.
