āyuḥ kallola-lolaṃ katipaya-divasa-sthāyinī yauvana-śrīr
arthāḥ saṅkalpa-kalpā ghana-samaya-taḍid-vibhramā bhoga-pūgāḥ |
kaṇṭhāśleṣopagūḍha tad api ca na ciraṃ yat priyābhaḥ praṇītaṃ
brahmaṇy āsakta-cittā bhavata bhavamayāmbhodhi-pāraṃ tarītum ||

Life is as restless as a wave; the splendor of youth lasts but a few days; / riches are as transient as fleeting thoughts; the multitudes of sensual pleasures are like the flashes of lightning in the rainy season; / even the close embrace around the neck bestowed by beloved women does not endure. / Therefore, fix your minds on Brahman to cross to the far shore of the ocean of worldly existence!
