Number 22
Death is an illness with no cure;
its command holds sway over king and minister alike.
The king who yesterday ate the finest food of Kerman,
today the worms of the grave are eating him.

دردیست اجل که نیست درمان او را
بر شاه و وزیر هست فرمان او را
شاهی که بحکم دوش کرمان می خورد
امروز همی خورند کرمان او را
