뜻
Do good deeds without expecting immediate reward.
문화적 배경
The concept of 'Fana' (annihilation of the self) is present here. By throwing the deed in the river, you annihilate your own pride. There are 'Walls of Kindness' (Divar-e Mehrabani) in Iran where people leave clothes for the poor anonymously, embodying this proverb. Saadi Shirazi is known as the 'Master of Speech'. His proverbs are so integrated into the language that people use them without knowing they are quoting poetry.
The Second Half
Memorizing the second half ('Ke Izad dar biyābānat dehad bāz') will make you sound like a native literary expert.
Don't sound arrogant
Don't use this to tell someone they *must* be grateful to you. It is meant for the giver, not the receiver.
