حکمت شمارهٔ 21

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
بدخوی در دستِ دشمنی گرفتار است که هر کجا رود از چنگِ عقوبتِ او خلاص نیابد.
اگر ز دست بلا بر فلک رود بدخوی
ز دست خوی بد خویش در بلا باشد

An ill-humoured man is captive in the hands of a foe, from the grasp of whose punishment he cannot be delivered wherever he may go.

If from the hand of calamity an ill-natured man escapes into the sky The evil disposition of his own nature retains him in calamity.
