1. The paths of misguidance are easy and spacious,
While the path of righteousness is as narrow as a seamstress's thread.

2. It has a rugged ascent which cannot be climbed
Except with determination and self-discipline.

3. How can the riders traverse the wilderness,
While my life remains constrained by moral codes?

4. The plains are barren of vegetation yet
Their mirages clothe them like meadows.
