Persian Listing
SANAI
علم از حلم نیک پی گردد، سنگ بی‌سنگ لعل کی گردد
Elm az helm nik pey gardad, sang bi-sang la'l key gardad
Knowledge becomes truly well-grounded through patience — for how can a stone ever become a ruby without enduring the right pressure?

Sanai
هرکرا علم نیست گمراهست، دست او زان سرای کوتاهست
Whoever lacks knowledge is lost; his hand falls short of reaching that higher abode.
Sanai
مرد را علم ره دهد به نعیم، مرد را جهل در برد به جحیم
