Mandarin:

Tien xia you liang nan, deng tian nan, chiu ren gen nan
Tien xia you liang gu, wang nian gu, ping jiong gen gu
Tien xia you liang xian, jiang wu xian, ren xing gen xian
Tien xia you liang pao, ji zhang pao, ren qing gen pao


Cantonese:

Tin ha yao leung nan, tang tin nan, kao yan kan nan
Tin ha yao leung fu, wong nin fu, pang kung kan fu
Tin ha yao leung him, wah san him, yan sam kan him
Tin ha yao bok, ji cheung bok, yan ching kan bok


Translated to english:

There are two difficults tasks, grabbing the sky is hard, but asking for helps is even harder
There are two types of bitterness, bittergourd is bitter, poverty is even bitter
There are two types of danger, society is dangerous, but human's evil thoughts are even more dangerous
There are two types of thinness, paper is thin, but humanity is even thinner.
