O’ my good heart! The people who eat food in the day
may not eat in the night and die early!
When the life leaves as a person dies,
In spite of realizing from the learned people’s words
that what deeds he had done only follow him without failing,
What is going to happen by having extreme desire
to have more wealth for safeguarding the body
which you can’t own for ever? It is of no use!
Sir, it is necessary to realize that man is mortal and death is certain as spelled in the poem. It is also reflected that wealth can not be the ultimate goal of a life/human. On the contrary it is a means for facilitating living. Marvelous thoughts. Enjoyed the poem. Thanks for sharing. Regards.
