Abstract

Nowadays, coronavirus or the so-called Covid19 has spread all over the globe endangering humans' lives. On the other hand, it has also been a lesson of life for all human beings to take, which has exerted some beneficial impacts on their lives; hence, this immensely little invisible creature has to be treated wisely enough. Thus, one has to refer to old sayings and pieces of advice given by late wise man and philosophers so as to come to a good realization of the situation. In this regard, the late great Iranian bard called Saadi Shirazi, the poet of all ages and eras, is a world-known poet and philosopher whose clear guidelines can be an effective solution to humans' problems these days. Saadi wrote the following triple rhyming couplets about 800 years before universal declaration of human rights. These couplets are still being caroled in different languages as melodies, Anthems and global music. It is, of course, worth mentioning that Achaemenid Cyrus Charter of Human Rights Cylinder was the very first and the oldest human rights charter referring back to 600 BC.
