حکمت شمارهٔ 67

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
به نانهاده دست نرسد و نهاده هر کجا هست برسد.
شنیده‌ای که سکندر برفت تا ظلمات
به چند محنت و خورد آن که خورد آب حیات

What is not placed cannot be reached by the hand and whatever is placed will be reached wherever it is.

Hast thou heard that Alexander went into the darkness And after all his efforts could not taste the water of immortality?
