All wealth you earn by labor hard or not
Will be forgotten or turn meaningless;
All trophies, prizes and awards, you got
On earth will finally turn valueless.
All posts you donned and titles that you earned
Are insignificant to Maker Lord;
All scholarly education, you learned,
Are thrown to wind, stay unuttered a word.
All love you gave to persons all around
Will vanish like the mist when dawn is born;
All earthly pains and woes and joys are bound
To disappear like dew on a sunny morn.
And all that matters is how good you've been
Avoiding sin, and keeping heavenly sheen.
