财富不重要
财富不重要，朝来暮去随风飘。
外貌不重要，
花容易伤颜易老。
高贵出身不重要，
耍钱弄马纨裤儿，
兴凶作恶大草包。
羞愧父母泪满袍。
唯才识人也不好，
即使技能很高超。
吾举一例为警示：
Iblis有才却无爱，
Adam视之如泥淖！
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
