Saadi from the Golestan
Here’s an English translation of a famous poem by Saadi from the Golestan:
"Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain."
This timeless verse emphasizes the interconnectedness of humanity and the importance of compassion and empathy for others.
