About this author

A native of Shiraz, Persia, Shiekh Saadi left his native town at a young age for Baghdad to study Arabic literature and Islamic sciences at Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad (1195-1226).

The unsettled conditions following the Mongol invasion of Persia led him to wander abroad through Anatolia, Syria, Egypt, and Iraq. He also refers in his work to travels in India and Central Asia. Saadi is very much like Marco Polo who traveled in the region from 1271 to 1294. There is a difference, however, between the two. While Marco Polo gravitated to the potentates and the good life, Saadi mingled with the ordinary survivors of the Mongol holocaust. He sat in remote teahouses late into the night and exchanged views with merchants, farmers, preachers, wayfarers, t...more

“بكت عيني غداة البين دمعا........وأخرى بالبكاء بخلت علينا
فعاقبت التي بالدمع ضـنت.........بأن أغمـــضتها يوم التقينا”
سعدی

“هر که دلارام دید از دلش آرام رفت
چشم ندارد خلاص هر که در این دام رفت
یاد تو می‌رفت و ما عاشق و بی‌دل بدیم
پرده برانداختی کار به اتمام رفت
ماه نتابد به روز چیست که در خانه تافت
سرو نروید به بام کیست که بر بام رفت
مشعله‌ای برفروخت پرتو خورشید عشق
خرمن خاصان بسوخت خانگه عام رفت

عارف مجموع را در پس دیوار صبر
طاقت صبرش نبود ننگ شد و نام رفت
گر به همه عمر خویش با تو برآرم دمی
حاصل عمر آن دمست باقی ایام رفت
هر که هوایی نپخت یا به فراقی نسوخت
آخر عمر از جهان چون برود خام رفت
ما قدم از سر کنیم در طلب دوستان
راه به جایی نبرد هر که به اقدام رفت
همت سعدی به عشق میل نکردی ولی
می چو فروشد به کام عقل به ناکام رفت”
سعدی

“به‌راه بادیه رفتن به از نشستن باطل
که گر مراد نیابم به‌قدر وُسع بکوشم”
سعدی
