Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 12

Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)



An ill-humoured man is captive in the hands of a foe, from the grasp of whose punishment he cannot be delivered wherever he may go.

If from the hand of calamity an ill-natured man escapes into the sky  
        The evil disposition of his own nature retains him in calamity.
