Quotes of Sheikh Saadi Shirazi.
Brief History: Abu Muhammad Muslih al-Din bin Abdallah Shirazi, better known by his pen-name ‘Saadi’, was born in Shiraz, Iran in 1210.
He is one of the famous Persian poets. He has also been quoted in western sources. He is recognized for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts. His main interests were in Poetry, Mysticism, Logic, Ethics and Sufism.
His best known works are Bostan (The Orchard) completed in 1257 and Gulistan (The Rose Garden) in 1258. Bostan is entirely in verse (epic metre) and consists of stories aptly illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims (justice, liberality, modesty, contentment) as well as of reflections on the behaviour of dervishes and their ecstatic practices. Gulistan is mainly in prose and contains stories and personal anecdotes. The text is interspersed with a variety of short poems, containing aphorisms, advice, and humorous reflections.
He died in 1291 or 1292 in Shiraz, Iran.

Masha Allah, the best poet which I heard after Allama Iqbal is Sheikh Saadi r.a.
He was a treasure of knowledge.
Can we see the books of Sheikh Saadi (R.A.) in Urdu?
According to me Saadi is the greatest poet of Persian language.
Sheikh Saadi’s Mazaar is in Lahore, its in Saadi Park, Mozzang near Lytton Road, and today is his Annual URSS, pic of tomb isplayed here is fake. Please reconfirm.
He was a Persian poet ………. he belonged to Iran.
His wisdom is for the whole humanity. All as we have lost touch with such oriental gems.
He was a great Sufi.
Dear Zahid Mirza,
I salute you for your comment, LOL. Sheikh Saadi has nothing to do with Saadi Park, Mozang. He never even visited Lahore, he lived and died in Iran and the picture of his tomb is genuine.
