Iraqi style

English

If a base man, thanks to wealth and rank, ranks above a free and noble soul, then even a dog, when it comes to hunting, ranks above a human being.

Explanation: The poet mocks the idea that money and status make someone worthy: by that logic, a good hunting dog would outrank a person.

Original · Persian

گر سِفله به مال و جاه از آزاده به‌است، سگ نیز به صید از آدمیزاده به‌است
