About the author

Abū-Muhammad Muslih al-Dīn bin Abdallāh Shīrāzī, Saadi Shirazi (Persian: ابومحمد مصلح الدین بن عبدالله شیرازی‎, Arabic: سعدي الشيرازي) better known by his pen-name as Saʿdī (Persian: سعدی) or simply Saadi, was one of the major Persian poets of the medieval period. He is not only famous in Persian-speaking countries, but has also been quoted in western sources. He is recognized for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts. Saadi is widely recognized as one of the greatest masters of the classical literary tradition.

His best known works are Bostan (The Orchard) completed in 1257 and Gulistan (The Rose Garden) in 1258. Bostan is entirely in verse (epic metre) and consists of stories aptly illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims (justice, liberality, modesty, contentment) as well as of reflections on the behaviour of dervishes and their ecstatic practices. Gulistan is mainly in prose and contains stories and personal anecdotes. The text is interspersed with a variety of short poems, containing aphorisms, advice, and humorous reflections. Saadi demonstrates a profound awareness of the absurdity of human existence. The fate of those who depend on the changeable moods of kings is contrasted with the freedom of the dervishes.

Reviews

[Marwa Eletriby]

هو لا أحد ينكر قيمة الشاعر
لكن شعرت بملل كثير

[Farah]

قال لي المحبوب لما زرتة من ببابي قلت بالباب انا

قال لي أخطأت تعريف الهوى حينما فرقت فية بينـــنا

ومضى عـــــام فلما جئته أطرق الباب علية موهــنا

قال لي من انت قلت أنظر فما ثم الا انت بالبـــاب هنا

قال لي أحسنت تعريف الهوى وعرفت الحب فأدخل يا انا

[Tarannom]

يار با ما بي وفايي مي کند / بی گناه از من جدایی می کند
شمع جانم را بکشت آن بی وفا/جای دیگر روشنایی می کند





با خویشتن همی برم این شوق تا به خاک/ وز خاک سر برأرم و پرسم نشان دوست

فریاد مردمان همه از دست دشمن است/ فریاد سعدی از دل نامهربان دوست

ترجمة سيئة للأسف
جمع المترجم عدد كبير من القصائد وترجمها ترجمه اعتبرها انا لا مباليه وغير مراعية للوزن الشعري ولا لمكانة الشاعر
تشعر وانت تقرأ بعدم الترابط بين ابيات القصيدة حتى بين البيت والبيت الذي يليه

Both the English and Arabic translations couldn't reserve all the rhythm and beauty of the lines, however with help from an Iranian friend I could taste sone if it.
It really encourages me to learn Persian just to read it in the original language
