Translation

```

A man of sorrow thinks

That there can be nobody

Who will surpass him in suffering.

The fire of suffering dances inside his heart.

A man of joy feels

That he alone is happy.

There can be nobody else

Who can have even an iota of happiness;

He alone is flooded with happiness.

In my abode of light

I shall receive boundless peace

The day I forget the attachment-bondage

Of happiness and sorrow.
