1. Think before you regret,
For you are mortal, know this.

2. Do not be deceived by this world,
For even its health becomes ill.

3. Its newness becomes worn,
Its youth becomes old.

4. Its bliss fades away,
So leaving its bliss is wisest.

5. And who is it that remains
Safe from disasters or secure?

6. I have seen people become followers
Of those with money and coins.

7. And a person has only what
He intended in good, or put forth.
