1. If you did not plant and saw a harvester,
You would regret missing the season of sowing.

2. If you wanted to borrow money to spend
On the self's desires in times of hardship,

3. Then ask yourself to spend from the treasure of its patience,
Waiting for the time of prosperity.

4. If you did this you would be wealthy, and if it refused,
All things forbidden after it have ample excuse.

5. Poverty is not the destitution of the generous, nor wealth itself;
Opinions go astray in times of abundance.

6. Some wealth’s flaws are erased by its beauty,
And a person’s nature is purified in times of destitution.
