Saadi - The Gulistan of Sa‘di – 21 from The Morals of Dervishes
Yesterday at dawn a bird lamented,
Depriving me of sense, patience, strength and consciousness.
One of my intimate friends who
Had perhaps heard my distressed voice
Said: “I could not believe that you
Would be so dazed by a bird’s cry.”
I replied: “It is not becoming to humanity
That I should be silent when birds chant praises.”
