tā dar tan-e-tust ustukHān-o-rag-o-pai

gardan maneh az ḳhasam buvad rustam-e-zāl
minnat ma-kash az dost buvad hātim tai
As long as there are bones, nerves and fats in thy body, do not step out thy foot from the house of destiny; do not yield to thy enemy be he the Rustam of his time, and place thyself under no obligations to thy friend, be he as generous as Hatim Tai.
