Gulistan of Saadi
The Morals of Dervishes
Story 31
A man, being tormented story by a contrary wind in his belly and not having the power to retain it,
unwittingly allowed it to escape. He said: ‘Friends, I had no option in what I did, the fault of it is not
to be ascribed to me and peace has resulted to my internal parts. Kindly excuse me.’

No sage retains wind in captivity.
If wind twists thy belly let it out
Because wind in the belly is a burden to the heart.
