Gulistan of Saadi

 The Manners of Kings

 Story 29

A vezier paid a visit to Zulnun Misri and asked for his favour, saying: ‘I am day and night engaged in
the service of the sultan and hoping to be rewarded but nevertheless dread to be punished by him.’
Zulnun wept and said: ‘Had I feared God, the great and glorious, as thou fearest the sultan, I would be
one of the number of the righteous.’

If there were no hope of rest and trouble
The foot of the dervish would be upon the sphere
And if the vezier feared God
Like the king he would be king.
