٧٢. وَقَالَ (عليه السلام): الدَّهرُ يُخْلِقُ الْأَبْدَانَ، وَيُجَدِّدُ الْآمَالَ، وَيُقَرِّبُ الْمَنِيَّةَ، ويُبَاعِدُ الْأُمْنِيَّةَ، مَنْ ظَفِرَ بِهِ نَصِبَ، ومَنْ فَاتَهُ تَعِبَ.
Translation
72. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Time wears our bodies, renews desires, brings death nearer and takes away aspirations. Whoever is successful with it encounters grief and whoever misses its favours also undergoes hardships.
