Wealth is for the comfort of life, not life for accumulating wealth. They asked a wise man: 'Who is fortunate and what is misfortune?' He said: 'The fortunate one is he who ate and sowed, and the unfortunate one is he who died and left behind.'
مال از بهر آسایش عمر است نه عمر از بهر گرد کردن مال. عاقلی را پرسیدند: «نیکبخت کیست و بدبختی چیست؟» گفت: «نیکبخت آن که خورد و کشت و بدبخت آن که مُرد و هِشت.»
Do not pray over anyone who did nothing
Whose life was spent acquiring wealth and did not consume it
مکن نماز بر آن هیچ کس که هیچ نکرد
که عمر در سرِ تحصیلِ مال کرد و نخورد
