Question

خنک آنکه جز تخم نیکی نکشت / به پاداش نیکی بیابی بهشت

 

Answer 1

Hi

It is more of a quote rather than a couplet of a poem.

How happy are they who do nothing but plant seeds of goodness, their reward is the key to paradise.

This is by the great poet Ferdowsim and it seems to have more than one version.

By quote, I meant my own answer, not the discussed question.

Yes I know. I believe that a poetry can never be translated perfectly,it is an art.I think that the person who is fit for translating poetry should be a poet who has a good articulation for the two languages that one translates from and to. There would be a lot of distortions of meaning in translating Poetry.I've tried tons of times to be at least close in meaning,yet I had to change it in order to find a rhyme.It is also a matter of deciding whether it is the message that matters more or there is a focus on the form.It would be very unusual to preserve both,I think.( There are some works that have preserved the two cases,though.)

You're absolutely right (1+).

That's why I didn't answer this question myself, and I couldn't find a reliable online translation for it.
