sarvam paravasham dukham sarvamatmavasham sukham |
etad vidyat samasena lakshanam sukhaduhkhayoh ||

सर्वं परवशं दुःखं सर्वमात्मवशं सुखम् |
एतद् विद्यात् समासेन लक्षणं सुखदुःखयोः ||

What’s in someone else’s hands is pain.
What’s in your own pair of hands is pleasure.
That explains in language brief and plain
Grief and joy in full and perfect measure.

udyamena hi sidhyanti karyani na manorathaih |
na hi suptasya sinhasya pravishanti mukhe mrigah ||

उद्यमेन हि सिध्यन्ति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः |
न हि सुप्तस्य सिंहस्य प्रविशन्ति मुखे मृगाः ||

To succeed you must try and try
And not just dream and wish and sigh.
A lion's prey won't go exploring
Within his mouth while he is snoring.
