Ayagi d aseɣnan n tfekka, ma aya ur texsmeɛ ara ticki! Ayagi ur telli ara deg waddar.

Asif nniɣ, ad nnuɣal ad nebɣu tifratin n wedrar. Ur ad akkweɛreɣ ɣef tifratin n usmekkes. Ad neggreɣ deg waddar ameqqran, ad selɣeɣ tifratin.
Acu ara xedmeɣ ass-a?
A ledra-yi ad nselɣeɣ tifratin n wedrar, ad nuɣal ad nebɣu amkan n wakud, ad akweɛreɣ ɣef tifratin n yimdanen.
If I were suddenly to become known, and (put into a position to) conduct (a government) according to the Great Tao, what I should be most afraid of would be a boastful display. The great Tao (or way) is very level and easy; but people love the by-ways.
