Endure Forever
Translation by Tree Buffalo
Which is closer to you, your name or your body?
Which is worth more to you, your body or your wealth?
Which is more painful, your gain or your loss?
This is why excessive love brings great waste.
And bigger treasure brings heavy loss.
Knowing contentment does not dishonor.
And knowing when to stop does not endanger.
It is how to endure forever.
