「原创」鲁米诗：财富非永久
【英译汉】
财富非永久
它早晨到来，夜晚又会随风飘走
外表美也非重要
一根针划破会使红润脸变成苍白
高贵身份也非重要
大多数人会成金钱和骏马的愚妄人
许多权贵之子行恶最终让其父亲蒙羞
不要跟随任何人
即使他在某方面确实出类拔萃
从撒旦实例明白警示
撒旦虽有知识但他心无爱
他傲慢视阿丹为泥土造化
Wealth has no permanence: it comes in the morning,
and at night it is scattered to the winds.
Physical beauty too has no importance,
for a rosy face is made pale by the scratch of a single thorn.
Noble birth also is of small account,
for many become fools of money and horses.
Many a nobleman’s son has disgraced his father by his wicked deeds.
Don’t court a person full of talent either,
even if he seems exquisite in that respect:
take warning from the example of Iblis1 .
Iblis had knowledge, but since his love was not pure,
he saw in Adam nothing but a figure of clay.
