prithivyam trini ratnani jalamannam subhashitam |
mudhaih pashanakhandeshu ratnasanjna vidhiyate ||

पृथिव्यां त्रीणि रत्नानि जलमन्नं  सुभाषितम् |
मूढैः पाषाणखण्डेषु रत्नसंज्ञा  विधीयते ||

The gems on earth without a price
Are water, food and wise advice.
And yet this world has priceless fools
Who think that scraps of stones are jewels.

paropadeshe pandityam sarvesham sukaram nrinam |
dharme svayamanushthanam kasyachittu mahatmanah ||

परोपदेशे पाण्डित्यं सर्वेषां सुकरं नृणाम् |
धर्मे स्वयमनुष्ठानं कस्यचित्तु महात्मनः ||

The world is full of experts who
Tell other people what to do.
The noble soul is one who does
The moral thing without a fuss.

gate shokam na kurvita bhavishyam naiva chintayet |
vartamaneshu kaleshu vartayanti vichakshanah ||

गते शोकं न कुर्वीत भविष्यं नैव चिन्तयेत् |
वर्तमानेषु कालेषु वर्तयन्ति विचक्षणाः ||

Don’t think about the past and cry
Nor think of all that’s next and sigh.
The one who sees with open eyes,
In today’s moment lives and dies.
