Mevlana'nın sözü.

Title
If you walk with the good...
Translation
English

Translated by Mesud2991
Target language: English

If you walk with the good, you become noble; if you walk with the bad, you turn out to be ignoble.
Remarks about the translation
'mertebe' rhymes with 'merkebe'. That's why I chose the rhyming words 'noble / ignoble'. If it has to be literal, it goes like:

If you walk with the good, you establish a position; if you walk with the bad, you turn out to be a donkey

Any suggestions would be appreciated about rhyming words.
