80. Verily the good of this world is insignificant, its evil is ready at hand, its pleasures are little and its regret is long. Its bounties are connected with misery, its happiness is linked with misfortune, its benefit is joined with harm and its sweetness is mixed with bitterness.

80 إنَّ الدُّنيا خَيْرُها زَهيدٌ، وَشَرُّها عَتيدٌ، ولَذَّتُها قَليلَةٌ وحَسْرَتُها طَويلَةٌ، تَشُوبُ نَعيمَها بِبُؤْس، وتَقْرِنُ سُعُودَها بِنُحُوس وتَصِلُ نَفْعَها بِضُرّ، وَتَمْزِجُ حُلْوَها بِمُرّ.
