Vice and Virtue

mohammad ali

بیــــا تا جهــــان را به بــد نسپریم
به کوشش همه دست نیکی بریم
نبــاشد همی نیک و بـــد پــــایدار
همـــــان به که نیکی بود یادگار

O' let us not entrust the world to vice
And all attempt the virtue's hand—advice!
The vice and virtue not forever stay;
So better virtue stays a keepsake—say!
