Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Elegant Saying 01
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Men void of accomplishments cannot behold those who possess some, without barking like the curs of the bazar on seeing a hunting dog, but dare not come forward; that is to say, when a base fellow is unable to vie with an accomplished man he sets about slandering him according to his own wickedness.
The envious mean fellow will certainly slander,
Whose tongue of speech is dumb when face to face.
