Nam ve Zenginlik
Servet ve zenginlikler hercaidir
Arada daimi kalan şöhrettir
Hayatta birincisi elzem ise
Ahrette ikincisi zaruridir
Hasetin aleyhinedir önceki
Ötekisi ise unutulmanın
Mal insanı isteğe teşvik eder
Bazen herkesçe yer yer desteklenir
Oysa şöhret zorla kazanılmıştır
Şöhret bizim arzumuzun kaynağı
Ve en iyi olan tarafımızdır
Halen o, devlerin kız kardeşidir
Kendini hep iter aşırılara
Ya korkunç ucube dev gaddarlığa
Ya da harika parlak dehalara
- İngilizce / English -
Fame and Fortune
Wealth and riches are fickle
What remains constant in between them is fame
If the first is essential in life
The second is necessary in the afterlife
The former is against envy
The latter is against oblivion
Wealth encourages human desire
Sometimes, it is supported by everyone from place to place
Yet fame is gained by force
Fame is the source of our desire
And it is our best side
Still, it is the sister of giants
She constantly pushes herself to extremes
Either to horrific monstrous cruelty
Or to brilliant, marvelous geniuses
