Whatever comes quickly does not last long.

I have heard that in the East they make

A porcelain bowl in forty years.

They make a hundred in a day in Mardsht,

Therefore, you see its low price.

A chick hatches from an egg and seeks its sustenance,

While a human child has no awareness, intellect, or discernment.

He who suddenly became someone achieved nothing lasting,

While this one, through patience and virtue, surpassed all things.

Glass is found everywhere, therefore it has no value,

Ruby is difficult to obtain; that is why it is precious.
