(۸) حکایت یحیی معاذ رازی / (8) The Tale of Yahya Ma'adh Razi

Original content

مگر یحیی معاذ آن مرد محرم
براهی بر دهی بگذشت خرم

یکی گفتش که هست این ده دهی خوش
زبان بگشاد یحیی همچو آتش

کزین خوشتر دل مردیست بالغ
که هست او از ده خوش سخت فارغ

English translation

Once Yahya ibn Mu'adh, that intimate man, Passed happily by a village on a path. Someone said to him: 'This is a pleasant village.' Yahya opened his tongue like fire, 'More pleasant than this is the heart of a mature man, Who is completely detached from any pleasant village.'
