Hekmat 03 • حکمت ۳

Miserliness, Cowardice and Poverty

بخل، بزدلی اور فقر

📜
Original Arabic • متنِ عربی

الْبُخْلُ عَارٌ، وَالْجُبْنُ مَنْقَصَةٌ، وَالْفَقْرُ يُخْرِسُ الْفَطِينَ عَنْ حُجَّتِهِ، وَالْمُقِلُّ غَرِيبٌ فِي بَلْدَتِهِ.

Urdu Translation • اردو ترجمہ

بخل ننگ و عار ہے، اور بزدلی نقص و عیب ہے، اور غریبی و افلاس عقل مند انسان کی زبان کو اس کے دلائل پیش کرنے سے گونگا بنا دیتی ہے، اور مفلس اپنے شہر میں بھی پردیسی ہوتا ہے۔

English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ

“Miserliness is a shame; cowardice is a defect; poverty renders a smart man tongue-tied in his argument; and a poor man is a stranger in his own town.”

Reflections: In this Hekmat, Imam Ali (as) connects social status with psychological states. He observes that poverty doesn’t just affect the pocket; it suppresses the voice and social belonging of even the most intelligent individuals.
