# سخن به کی مانذ زما یاذگار کی ما برگذاریم واو پایدار 3 از برای آنک سخن حکمت وکلمت موعظت هرگز از صحایف دفاتر واوراق جراید محو نشوذ ومدروس نگردذ وهمیشه منتقل باشد از زمانی یزمانی واز مکانی بمکانی ، نه بینی کی افلاطن وارسطاطالیس واسکندر وسقراط بعالم عدم رفته اند وذکر ایشان در عالم وجود مانده ، وهمچنین ملوک غستان وآل سامان وساسان در چیز فنا مقام گرده اند واسامی ایشان ابد الدهر باقی مانده است ؛

> Speech is the best keepsake that remains of us, / for we are passers-by and it endures.  
> Because words of wisdom and admonitory sayings are never wiped from the leaves of volumes  
> and pages of scrolls, nor are they obliterated; they are continually transmitted from time  
> to time and from place to place. Do you not see that Plato, Aristotle, Alexander, and Socrates  
> have departed to the realm of nonexistence, while their renown has remained in the realm of existence? And likewise the kings of  
> Ghassān, the house of Sāmān, and the house of Sāsān have taken up residence in the realm of annihilation, yet their names  
> have remained forever:
