Sa’adi Shirazi – Poet 13th Century

“The sons of Adam are limbs of each other, Having been created of one essence.When the calamity of time affects one limbThe other limbs cannot remain at rest.If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others,You are unworthy to be called Human.”

I found this piece of my own calligraphy posted on another blog.  So, I thought I best reblog it here on my own Tumblr.  This is the famous poem of Sa’adi that is engraved on the walls of the United Nations in New York. More of my work can be seen at palmstone.com … Stewart J. Thomas, calligrapher
