    حذار خشية أن تفقد المادة عن طريق الإمساك بالظل.

    tenga cuidado de no perder la sustancia agarrándose a la sombra.

    مواظب باشید مبادا با گرفتن سایه ماده را از دست دهید.

    सावधान रहें कि आप छाया में लोभी होकर पदार्थ खो देते हैं।

    היזהר שמא תאבד את החומר על ידי אחיזה בצל.

    當心,以免因抓住陰影而失去實質。
