بخش ۱۵ / Section 15

Original content

شخصی زشت رویی را دید که از گناهان استغفار می کرد و نجات از آتش دوزخ می طلبید گفت: ای دوست بدین روی چرا بر دوزخ بخیلی می کنی و آن را از آتش دریغ می داری؟
چون نبینی تو روی خود زان رو

بر کسان ناخوش است نی بر تو
گر بدین رو در آتشت فکنند

حیف بر آتش است نی بر تو

English translation

A certain person saw an ugly-faced man who was seeking forgiveness for his sins and begging for salvation from the fire of Hell. He said: 'O friend, with a face like this, why do you act stingy toward Hell and withhold it from the fire?'

Since you do not behold your own face, for that reason it is unpleasant to others, not to you. If with this face they were to cast you into the fire, the pity would be upon the fire, not upon you.
