Sol 5.6

  1. There is no good in this world, though the young man be beguiled

    there by second strings reinforced with thirds.

  2. The worst of life is one stretched out—basīṭ—blameworthy,

    against which the spoiler’s hand deliberately works its harm.

  3. And well-being is like the soundness of the part which

    was crushed by blows from the third tall one—al-Ṭawīl’s third ḍarb.
