When a Pious Man Eats

Peace, one and all…

Here’s a short poem from the vast Gulistan of Sa’di.  Enjoy…

When a pious man eats half a loaf of bread
He bestows the other half upon dervishes.
If a padshah were to conquer the seven climates
He would still in the same way covet another.

Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
