Students of cunning have consumed their hearts
and learned only tricks;
They've thrown away real riches:
patience, self-sacrifice, generosity.
Right thought opens a way.

Hileh âmuzân jegar-hâ sukhteh
fe`l-ha o makr-hâ âmukhteh
Sabr o isâr o sakhâ-ye nafs o jud
bâd dâdeh k-ân bovad eksir-e sud
Fekr-e ân bâshad ke bo-g'shâyad rahi
râh-e ân bâshad keh pish âyad shahi
-- Mathnawi II:3205-3208
