我不恐畏死　志願求解脫
所求不成果　是故我啼泣
人身極難得　出家亦復然
遇釋師子王　自今不重覩

"I do not fear death; / My vow and wish were to seek liberation. / That what I sought has borne no fruit— / It is for this reason that I weep. / A human body is exceedingly difficult to obtain, / And renouncing the household life is just the same. / Having encountered the Lion King of the Śākyas, / From now on I shall not behold him again."
