When your eyes light on it, it is gone,

for suddenly it sprouts wings,

flying like an eagle toward heaven.

Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,

for they will surely sprout wings

and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears,

for it makes wings for itself

and flies like an eagle to the sky.

In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,

for it will sprout wings

and fly away like an eagle.

Your eyes will alight on it, but there is nothing to it,

for suddenly it will make for itself wings

like an eagle and it will be exhausted in the heavens.
