حکمت شمارهٔ 69

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
توانگر فاسق کلوخ زراندود است و درویش صالح شاهد خاک آلود. این دلق موسی است مرقع و آن ریش فرعون مرصع.

A rich profligate is a lump of earth gilded and a pious dervish is a sweetheart besmeared with earth. The latter is the patched garment of Moses and the former is the bejewelled beard of Pharaoh.
