۞
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.
٧٢. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): الدَّهرُ يُخْلِقُ الْأَبْدَانَ، وَيُجَدِّدُ الْآمَالَ، وَيُقَرِّبُ الْمَنِيَّةَ، ويُبَاعِدُ الْأُمْنِيَّةَ، مَنْ ظَفِرَ بِهِ نَصِبَ، ومَنْ فَاتَهُ تَعِبَ.
