kulīnā rūpiṇyaḥ parama-guṇa-śīlāḥ praṇayitā-
bhṛd-utkaṇṭhākaṇṭhāgata-tulita-jīvā bata vayam |
na tāvad vaṃśī tat-tad-anuguṇatām añcati jaḍā
tathāpy eṣā hā dhik kalita-hari-saṅgā na tu vayam || [śikhariṇī]

"We, alas, of noble family, possessed of beauty, of the highest virtue and character, / have our lives balancing at our throats through longing borne of love; / yet the dull flute does not possess any such qualities! / Still, fie! She enjoys union with Hari, while we do not!"
