MORE BYSaadi Shirazi

    What can an old prostitute do but vow to become chaste, and an policeman not to commit oppression upon men?

    A youth who sits in a corner is a hero in the path of God

    Because an old man is unable to rise from his corner.

    A youth must be strong minded to abstain from lust,

    Because even the sexual tool of an old man, of sluggish desire,

    rises not.
