But a key that only I will understand.

nusrat-diu:
A cipher.

nusrat-diu:
 What does man love more than life?
Fear more than death or mortal strife?
What do the poor have, what the rich require,
And what contented men desire?
What does the miser spend, the spendthrift save,
And all men carry to their graves?

nusrat-diu:

Gain me and quickly lose me.
If treated with care I can be great,
And if betrayed I will break.
What am I?
