Ist einer Welt Besitz für dich zerronnen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Persian (Farsi)
Ist einer Welt Besitz für dich zerronnen,
Sei nicht in Leid darüber, es ist nichts;
Und hast du einer Welt Besitz gewonnen,
Sei nicht erfreut darüber, es ist nichts.
Vorüber gehn die Schmerzen und die Wonnen;
Geh an der Welt vorüber, es ist nichts.

Maxim
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
If the possessions of a world have melted away for you,
Do not be sorrowful about it, it is nothing;
And if you have gained the possessions of a world,
Do not rejoice over it, it is nothing;
Pains and joys pass by;
[You] pass by the world, it is nothing.
