3. When that spark is extinguished, the body will be turned into ashes. The spirit will evaporate into thin air.
4. Over time, our names will be forgotten. No one will remember our deeds. Our lives will pass away like the last wisps of a cloud. Our lives will be dispersed like a morning mist chased away by the sun and weighed down by the day’s heat.
5. Our time here is like a shadow passing by. There’s no turning back from death. It has been sealed, and no one will alter it.
6. Come then! Let’s enjoy all the good things of life now. Let’s enjoy creation to the fullest as we did in our youth.
7. Let’s drink our fill of expensive wines and enjoy fine perfumes. Let’s pluck every fresh blossom of spring as we pass by.
8. Let’s crown ourselves with rosebuds before they wither.
