অসম্ভবকে পাওয়ার বাসনার চেয়ে যা কিছু চোখ দেখে তাতে সন্তুষ্ট হওয়া ভাল। সেটাও আসার এবং বাতাসকে পরিচালনা করার চেষ্টা।
Es mejor estar satisfecho con lo que los ojos ven que andar deseando un antojo, lo cual también es vapor y un intento de pastorear el viento.
आँखों से देख लेना मन की चंचलता से उत्तम है: यह भी व्यर्थ और वायु को पकड़ना है।
Ya, lebih baik menikmati apa yang ada padamu, daripada menginginkan sesuatu yang tidak kamu miliki. Semuanya itu sia-sia— sama seperti berusaha menjaring angin!
欲望をあちこちにさまよわせるより、目の前にあるものを見るほうが良い。これも空しく、風を追うようなものである。
Más vale lo que ven los ojos que el deseo que va de un lado a otro. Esto también es inútil, como perseguir el viento.
जे डोळे पाहून त्यामध्ये समाधान मानतात ते चांगले आहे मन इकडे तिकडे भटकणाऱ्या हावेपेक्षा ते बरे. हे सुध्दा वाफच आहे. व वाऱ्याचा पाठलाग करणाऱ्याचा प्रयत्न करण्यासारखे आहे.

Ni bora kuridhika na kile ambacho macho hukiona kuliko kutamani kile ambacho hamu isiyo tulia inatamani, ambayo pia ni mvuke na kujaribu kuuchunga upepo.
ஆசையானது அலைந்து தேடுகிறதைவிட கண் கண்டதே நலம்; இதுவும் மாயையும் மனதை கலங்கச் செய்கிறதுமாக இருக்கிறது.
మనస్సు పొందలేని దాని గురించి ఆశపడడం కంటే కంటికి ఎదురుగా ఉన్నదానితో తృప్తి పడడం మంచిది. ఇది కూడా నిష్ప్రయోజనమే, గాలిని పట్టుకోడానికి ప్రయత్నించడమే.
आँखों से देख लेना आरज़ू की आवारगी से बेहतर है: ये भी बेकार और हवा की चरान है।
