The human being is a creature of time. He is either a planner or a wanderer. He is born of the ages. He does not grow old before his time. Satan knew his Lord, but he was arrogant. God takes the son of man, and the son of man takes his son. He carries it on his shoulder and walks around him. His father is a lion, and his son is a jackal. The rich man is generous. The son of the rich man is stingy. You are as you are, and your wife is as she is. The dung beetle is a sultan in his house. What did your father leave you, O Jami? He said, "My grandfather died." Follow the owl and it will lead you to ruin. Follow the roads, even if they turn. And take the noble, even if it is barren. Follow the liar to the door of the house. If you abandon your friend, he will abandon you. When the calamity comes, it is on the neck. Seek the truth. The unfortunate meets the disappointed. He came to the ruins and the ruins welcomed him. He said, "Welcome, O uncle."
