A Quarrel ....
One day Moulana when walking a street
heard two men engaged in fierce altercation
hurling vituperations at each other.
Moulana heard one of them say to the other;
" If you use one foul word to me, I will reply
with a thousand in return.
Moulana came forward and said to them:
" Come, my friend, hurl your wrath upon me;
for if you cast a thousand vituperations at me,
you will not hear a single one from me! "
The two were thus put to shame, and became
friends through Moulana's wise advice. "
一场争吵...
有一天,毛俩纳(指鲁米)走在街上
听到两个男人在激烈争吵
互相谩骂。
毛俩纳听到其中一个人对另一个人说:
“如果你对我说一句脏话,我就会回你
以一千句脏话作为回报。
毛俩纳上前对他们说:
“来吧,我的朋友,把你的怒气撒在我身上吧。
因为如果你对我责骂千遍,
你一个字也听不到我说的!”
两个人就这样感到羞愧,
因为毛俩纳的睿智建议成为了朋友。
