DHP 60-75:1

Dīghā jāgarato ratti,

Long is the night for the wakeful;

Carañce nādhigaccheyya,

If while wandering you find no partner

Puttā matthi dhanaṁ matthi,

“Sons are mine, wealth is mine”—

Yo bālo maññati bālyaṁ,

The fool who thinks they’re a fool

Yāvajīvampi ce bālo,

Though a fool attends to the wise

Muhuttamapi ce viññū,

If a clever person attends to the wise

Caranti bālā dummedhā,

Fools and simpletons behave

Na taṁ kammaṁ kataṁ sādhu,

It’s not good to do a deed

Tañca kammaṁ kataṁ sādhu,

It is good to do a deed

Madhuṁvā maññati bālo,

The fool imagines that evil is sweet,

Māse māse kusaggena,

Month after month a fool may eat

Na hi pāpaṁ kataṁ kammaṁ,

For a wicked deed that has been done
