1. Every living being, his fate is known
Neither misery nor bliss are lasting

2. A man is envied for his bliss in the morning
Then by evening his life is blamed

3. And when the poor is content with what God gives him
His misery and bliss are equal

4. He who wants wealth should not ask people
For asking brings humiliation and blame

5. With patience and contentment comes the wealth of life
For asking brings humiliation and blame

6. People are like cattle in fate
The ignorant and the learned are equal

7. A young man’s prudence does not bring him sustenance
Nor does the incapable count as destitute
