Note 46 — The Fourteenth New Year’s Feast from the Auspicious Accession
Alexander Rogers translation
“Luqmān had a narrow hut,
Like the hollow of a flute or the bosom of a harp.
A noodle put the question to him—
‘What is this house—two feet and a span?’
Hotly and with tears the sage replied—
‘Ample for him who has to die.’”
