vayaṃ yebhyo jātāś cira-parigatā eva khalu te
samaṃ yaiḥ saṃvṛddhāḥ smṛti-viṣayatāṃ te 'pi gamitāḥ |
idānīm ete smaḥ pratidivasam āsanna-patanā
gatās tulyāvasthāṃ sikatilanadī-tīra-tarubhiḥ ||

Those from whom we were born have indeed long departed; / those with whom we grew up have also been consigned to the realm of memory; / now we, facing an imminent fall every day, / have reached an identical state with trees on the sandy bank of a river.
