بنی‌آدم اعضای یک دیگرند
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

Бани одам аъзои якдигаранд,
Ки дар офариниш зи як гавҳаранд.
Чу узве ба дард оварад рӯзгор,
Дигар узвҳоро намонад қарор.
Ту, к-аз меҳнати дигарон беғамӣ,
Нашояд, ки номат ниҳанд одамӣ!

Все племя Адамово — тело одно,
Из праха единого сотворено.
Коль тела одна только ранена часть,
То телу всему в трепетание впасть.
Над горем людским ты не плакал вовек,—
Так скажут ли люди, что ты человек!?

The literal translation of the above is as follows:

"Human beings [Sons of Adam] are parts of each other,
For in creation they are from one essence.
If one part is afflicted with pain,
Other parts uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain."
Another translation by sharghzadeh:

The sons of Adam are limbs of a frame,
for in creation, from one soul they came.
If hard times cause one member to feel pain,
at ease and rest, the others can’t remain.
If a limb’s in pain and you do not care,
the title ‘human being’ you can’t share!
Another poetic version by Dick Davis:

Man’s sons are parts of one reality
Since all have sprung from one identity;
If one part of a body’s hurt, the rest
Cannot remain unmoved and undistressed;
If you’re not touched by others’ pain, the name
Of “man” is one you cannot rightly claim.
Another translation (adopting the variant reading yak paykar for yak dīgar), is as follows:

"Adam's children are limbs of one body
That in creation are made of one gem.
When life and time hurt a limb,
Other limbs will not be at ease.
You who are not sad for the suffering of others,
Do not deserve to be called human."

Context of the poem:
The poem comes in the Gulistan at the end of story ten of the first chapter "On the Conduct of Kings". In this story Saʿdi 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 Saʿdi to add his prayers to his own as he was afraid of a powerful enemy. Saʾdi'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.

There seems no reason to doubt that Saʿdi may have visited Damascus in his travels, although this particular incident, like many of Saʾdi's stories, may of course be fictional.[4]

The story is quoted below in the version completed in 1888 and published in 1928 under the name of Richard Francis Burton, but probably in fact by the Hungarian linguist Edward Rehatsek:[5]

Story 10
I was constantly engaged in prayer, at the head of the prophet Yahia's tomb in the cathedral mosque of Damascus, when one of the Arab kings, notorious for his injustice, happened to arrive on a pilgrimage to it, who offered his supplications and asked for compliance with his needs.
The dervish and the plutocrat are slaves on the floor of this threshold
And those who are the wealthiest are the most needy.
Then he said to me: 'Dervishes being zealous and veracious in their dealings, unite thy mind to mine, for I am apprehensive of a powerful enemy.' I replied: 'Have mercy upon thy feeble subjects that thou mayest not be injured by a strong foe.'
With a powerful arm and the strength of the wrist
To break the five fingers of a poor man is sin.
Let him be afraid who spares not the fallen
Because if he falls no one will take hold of his hand.
Whoever sows bad seed and expects good fruit
Has cudgelled his brains for nought and begotten vain imaginations.
Extract the cotton from thy ears and administer justice to thy people
And if thou failest to do so, there is a day of retribution.
–
The sons of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.

حکایت شمارهٔ ۱۰

بر بالین تربت یحیی پیغامبر علیه السلام معتکف بودم در جامع دمشق که یکی از ملوک عرب که به بی انصافی منسوب بود اتفاقاً به زیارت آمد و نماز و دعا کرد و حاجت خواست
درویش و غنی بنده این خاک درند
و آنان که غنی ترند محتاج ترند
آن گه مرا گفت از آن جا که همت درویشان است و صدق معاملت ایشان خاطری همراه من کنید که از دشمنی صعب اندیشناکم. گفتمش بر رعیت ضعیف رحمت کن تا از دشمن قوی زحمت نبینی.
به بازوان توانا و قوت سر دست
خطاست پنجه مسکین ناتوان بشکست
نترسد آن که بر افتادگان نبخشاید
که گر ز پای در آید کسش نگیرد دست
هر آن که تخم بدی کشت و چشم نیکی داشت
دماغ بیهده پخت و خیال باطل بست
ز گوش پنبه برون آر و داد خلق بده
وگر تو می‌ندهی داد روز دادی هست
بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار
دگر عضوها را نماند قرار
تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی
نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی
