Persa
بنی آدم
بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار
دگر عضو ها را نماند قرار
تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی
نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی
Traducciones al inglés
Bani Adam
Rhyming translations by M. Aryanpoor:
Human beings are members of a whole,
in creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
other members uneasy will remain.
If you've no sympathy for human pain,
the name of human you cannot retain!
Translation by H. Vahid Dastjerdi:
Adam's sons are body limbs, to say;
for they're created of the same clay.
Should one organ be troubled by pain,
Others would suffer severe strain.
Thou, careless of people's suffering,
deserve not the name, "human being".
Translation by Dr. Iraj Bashiri:
Of One Essence is the Human Race,
thusly has Creation put the Base.
One Limb impacted is sufficient,
for all Others to feel the Mace.
The Unconcern'd with Others' Plight,
are but Brutes with Human Face.
Sheikh Moslehedin Saadi Shirazi (1184-1283) fue un poeta, filósofo y escritor persa. El poema que nos lee Bahram está escrito en la entrada del edificio de las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York, E.U.A.
