Theragāthā
Verses of the Senior Monks
Chapter of the Twos
2.13. Heraññakāni
The days and nights rush by,
And then life is cut short.
The vitality of mortals wastes away,
Like the water in tiny streams.But while doing bad deeds
The fool doesn’t realize—
It’ll be bitter later on;
Yes, the result will be bad for him.
