【原创】鲁米诗:财富非永恒

2021-08-16

【英译汉】鲁米诗

财富非永恒:

它于早晨归来,夜晚会随风而散。

外表美也非重要,

如一根针刺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.
