Persian poet Saadi's "Orchard" Story 32 (translated by Yang Wanbao)

It is said that there is a person who is stubborn by nature,

Ruling one side, he is the king of a country.

When he was in power, the people's lives were miserable,

It is difficult to sleep at night with fear.

Good people are abused and bullied by him,

At night, people spread their hands to pray to the heavens and intercede.

Some people can't bear this pain,

Find the then sheikh weeping sadly.

Ah, erudite and kind-hearted sheikh,

Tell this young man to take to heart the majesty of the Lord.

The Sheikh said, "If a man acts against the will of the Lord,

Why should I mention the Name of the Lord to Him?

If you see someone who does not take the Lord to heart,

Don't put up any hope for such people.

How can we talk about learning to the vile little man,

Sowing seeds in saline-alkali land is not in vain.

Good words are against the ear, and persuasion is completely useless to them,

They are rude and unreasonable by nature to make enemies of you.

O king, your duty is to obey the teachings of the Lord,

In this way, the praise of your talents is true.

Lucky friend, the seal printed on the wax before the texture,

If it is printed on a stubborn stone, it will never appear.

It's not surprising that the tyrants are full of resentment towards me,

Because I am like an inspector, he is a thief.

You should also be the inspector of fairness and justice,

Allah will send grace to bless you with peace.

I'm not saying this to you,

I am grateful for the kindness and affection of Allah.

While you are still alive in the world, concentrate on doing good,

Mo Xue's hurried passers-by have achieved nothing.

Everybody is doing their best to achieve the right results,

But how many people can truly bear the Lord's favor?

If you can go to heaven, it is not your merit,

It is Allah that leads you to good results.

You must be pure in heart and focused,

The idea of devotional worship and praise is not left unattended.

May your life be joyful and good and pass away,

Allah accept your prayers and sincerity.
