AND ITS VANITY
IRI AIYE SA
This worldly life is nothing at all;
It displeases you for a long time but please you only
for a while.
Ile aye yii ko ja mo nkan kan
Yoo maa dun o ninu nigbakany oo si maaa ba o
ninu je nigba miran
over it,
The utmost (it can offer you) if you ponder
Is just like an (afternoon) shadow (does) or a dream
