bani adam poem english
"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 have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain."
persian poem united nations
(Persian) Iranian poet Saadi, wrote a poem eight century ago that later became a motto on the entrance of the United Nations building. Saadi, eloquently manifested: The sons of Adam are limbs of each other, Having been created of one essence
The poem comes in the Gulistan at the end of story 10 of the 1st chapter, which is titled "On the Conduct of Kings". In this story Saadi claims to have been praying at the tomb of John the Baptist in the Great Mosque in Damascus, when he gave advice to an unnamed Arab king who requested Saadi to add his prayers to his own as he was afraid of a powerful enemy. Saadi's advice to the king was that if he wished to live a life free of fear of retribution he should rule his people with justice. He reinforces his advice with two short poems, the second of which is Bani Adam.

دکلمه بنی آدم اعضای یک دیگرند
شعر خوانی فارسی و انگلیسی بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند,
بنیآدم اعضای یک پیکرند
که در آفرينش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوى بهدرد آورَد روزگار
دگر عضوها را نمانَد قرار
تو کز محنت دیگران بیغمی
نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی
