The prisoner's head

I have heard of a certain king who had ordered for a prisoner’s head. The prisoner sunk in the void of hopelessness started abusing the king in the chicest of his words.
Ah they said: “the man who has washed his hands off, his life, throws whatever absurdities he can The hand catches at the sharp blades when he finds no way to escape. When the head of a man’s hope is slashed off –his tongue sticks out and lashes about. - just as the suppressed cat would spring at the mighty dog.”

The king desired to know as to what the prisoner was saying.
A wise vizier stood up and said, “oh king he is praising thee and he is saying that the powerful consume their anger and forgive the wrongs.”
The king took pity and forgave the prisoner. Another vizier charged the previous one for lying to the king.
“ It does not behove you to be untruthful to the king,” he chided.
“The prisoner had cursed and abused the king in fact,” he said
The king was displeased and said, “ I liked the lie of the first vizier and not your truth.
The wise have correctly said that an expedient lie is better than mischievous truth ”
It was grafted on the wall of the wall of Farids:
“The world never stays put with anybody- better you endear your creator – That’s it.
Never count on the worldly powers
Because the world has brought up many like you and then done away with them.
When a noble soul has already desired to depart; whether to die on the floor or throne it is all the same.
