حکایت شمارهٔ 11

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
منجّمی به خانه در آمد، یکی مردِ بیگانه را دید با زنِ او به هم نشسته. دشنام و سقط گفت و فتنه و آشوب خاست. صاحبدلی که بر این واقف بود، گفت:
تو بر اوجِ فلک چه دانى چیست؟
که ندانى که در سرایت کیست؟

An astrologer, having entered his own house, saw a stranger and, getting angry, began to insult him, whereon both fell upon each other and fought so that turmoil and confusion ensued. A pious man who had the scene exclaimed:

‘How knowest thou what is in the zenith of the sky If thou art not aware who is in thy house?’
