Meghaduta 6

jātaṃ vaṃśe bhuvanavidite puṣkarāvartakānāṃ jānāmi tvāṃ prakṛtipuruṣaṃ kāmarūpaṃ maghonaḥ
tenārthitvaṃ tvayi vidhivaśād dūrabandhur gato 'haṃ yācñā moghā varam adhiguṇe nādhame labdhakāmā //

I know thee as born in the world renowned race of the Pushkarāvartas; you, the changer of shape at will, prime minister of Indra, therefore I pray thee, since, by the power of fate I am separated from my relation; for a fruitless petition to the good is better than obtaining your wish from the worthless.
