Saadi A native of Shiraz(1184 – 1283/1291?)
The Gulistan or Rose Garden of Saadi
The sons of Adam :
The sons of Adam are limbs of each other
having been created of one essence.
when the calamity of time afficts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of man.
بنى آدم اعضاى یکدیگرند
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوى به درد آورد روزگار
دگر عضوها را نماند قرار
توکز محنت دیگران بى غمى
نشاید که نامت نهند آدمى
