Question 42

Translation

Answer 42

You say not the exalted
Except the content and the ascetic

And he is not honoured who is satisfied
And he is not humiliated who aspires

Your word is beloved
With its beauty and good nature

However it is deceitful
An imposter and deceptive

There is no beloved for it
It’s end is near

Bored and disloyal
There is no trust for it

The dearest separate
The companions break up

War for whom is its peace
Impatient who adheres to him

Honour of it is lowly
More of it is less

It’s reunion brings pains
Turning away from it is tribulation

The ignorant obtain with it
The cowards live in luxury

The intelligent are miserable in it
The educated work hard.
