Persian Prose Sufi Wisdom Moral and Social Reflections
بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
The sons of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار دگر عضوها را نماند قرار
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.
Written in 1258 by the renowned Saadi Shirazi, The Gulistan (Rose Garden) is one of the most celebrated works of classical Persian literature. Combining elegant prose and poetry, it offers deep moral insights and sharp social commentary through stories that explore ethics, justice, education, love, aging, and the human condition.
This complete bilingual edition, translated by Edward Rehatsek (1888), presents the original Persian text alongside a fluent English translation-ideal for Persian language learners, students of literature, and lovers of Middle Eastern classics.
