Persian Listing
RUDAKI
واجب نبود به کس بر، افضال و کرم واجب باشد هر آینه شکر نعم تقصیر نکرد خواجه در ناواجب من در واجب چگونه تقصیر کنم؟
Vājeb nabovad be kas bar, afzāl o karam / Vājeb bāshad har āyene shokr-e ne'am / Taqsir nakard khāje dar nāvājeb / Man dar vājeb chegune taqsir konam?
Favor and generosity are owed to no one, yet giving thanks for blessings is always owed; if the master did not fail in what was not required of him, how could I fail in what is required of me?

مردی نبود فتاده را پای زدن گر دست فتاده‌ای بگیری، مردی
It is not manhood to kick one who has fallen; if you lift up a fallen one's hand, that is manhood.
Rudaki
با داده قناعت کن و با داد بزی در بند تکلف مشو، آزاد بزی
Be content with what you are given and live justly; do not bind yourself in pretense, live free.
