1. Alas, what a cup death is!
And you are bound to drink from that cup.

2. How long till we meet our end? It is soon.
You are reminded of the afterlife yet remain heedless.

3. How many lessons have you seen
Where even iron softens, yet you remain hard.

4. With what power do you think you'll never fade,
When even mountains worn away over time?

5. Not all assumptions prove true,
Nor is everything correct by logic.

6. Each fantasy presented to an eye
Has two faces - of hope and despair.

7. In good nature lies all comfort.
In evil nature lies all misery.

8. No secret envier and hater escapes
To save his head from their evils.

9. Nothing is more moral than to see
A little good in your brother.

10. You never escape from the cycles you see
Moving people from state to state.
