Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.

ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૨:૧૦
મને જે કંઈ મારી નજરમાં પ્રાપ્ત કરવા જેવું લાગ્યું તેનાથી હું પાછો પડયો નહિ. મેં મારા હ્રદયને કોઈ પણ પ્રકારના આનંદથી રોક્યું નહિ, કેમ કે મારી સર્વ મહેનતનું ફળ જોઈને મારું મન પ્રસન્નતા પામ્યું, મારા સઘળા પરિશ્રમનો એ બદલો હતાં.
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक २:१०
और जितनी वस्तुओं को देखने की मैंने लालसा की, उन सभी को देखने से मैं न रुका; मैंने अपना मन किसी प्रकार का आनन्द भोगने से न रोका क्योंकि मेरा मन मेरे सब परिश्रम के कारण आनन्दित हुआ; और मेरे सब परिश्रम से मुझे यही भाग मिला।

In context

8I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men: musical instruments of all sorts.

9So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

10Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.

11Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

12I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly; for what can the king’s successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.
