Persian poet Saadi's "Orchard" Story 17 (translated by Yang Wanbao)

Do not think that the throne of the world is supreme,

The true meaning of Darwish's kingdom lives on.

People with simple bags are happy and relaxed on the road,

This truth is self-evident to smart people.

The poor man was so troubled that he took a bite of his pie,

The world hegemony mainly manages the world with painstaking care.

If the beggar has a pie for dinner,

He would sleep as happily as the king of Syria.

Sorrow and joy will have an end,

Joy and sorrow are all in place at the greatest limit.

Whether it is the king of a country wearing a crown on his head,

Whether it is the people pay taxes and silver money.

Whether you are on your toes and mighty and shake the heavens,

Whether it is poor or miserable in prison.

When death suddenly pounced on both,

There is also a distinction between the rich and the poor.
