1. Your joy with this world is an illusion, so do not
Be joyful with your world, lest you become deluded.

2. Do not feel safe from events, but fear their calamities,
For how many homes have they destroyed and how many lights extinguished.

3. And the most lost of all people is he who lived heedlessly,
For he did not live thanked, nor did he die excused.
