Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Admonition 15

Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)



Whoever does no good in the time of ability will see distress in the time of inability.

         No one is more unlucky than an oppressor of men  
         Because in the day of calamity no one is his friend.
