from Son of Mountains: the Persian poet wrote...

the Persian poet wrote:
In this world, no one is without sorrow and compassion.
If there is such a man, he would not be human.
Another Arab poet, Ahmad Matar, wrote:
In any Arab country,
If an educated person
Shows any sign of his intelligence,
He is a fool!
