ayushah khandamadaya ravirastamayam gatah |
ahanyahani boddhavyam kimetat sukritam kritam ||

आयुषः खण्डमादाय रविरस्तमयं गतः |
अहन्यहनि बोद्धव्यं किमेतत् सुकृतं कृतम् ||

The sun has gone to set and taken
A little slice of life away.
So day and night, think! awaken!
“What’s the good I've done today?”

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.
