Sunrise and Sunset Spend Us
Bhartrihari · Vairagya Shataka 43
आदित्यस्य गतागतैरहरहः संक्षीयते जीवितं
व्यापारैर्बहुकार्यभारगुरुभिः कालोऽपि न ज्ञायते ।
दृष्ट्वा जन्मजराविपत्तिमरणं त्रासश्च नोत्पद्यते
पीत्वा मोहमयीं प्रमादमदिरामुन्मत्तभूतं जगत्
Meaning · English
Each sunrise and sunset uses up our life. Busy with heavy work, we do not notice time go. We see age and death and feel no fear, drunk on carelessness.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
हर सूर्योदय और सूर्यास्त के साथ उम्र घटती है। भारी कामों में उलझे हम समय का जाना देखते ही नहीं। बुढ़ापा और मौत देखकर भी डर नहीं लगता, जैसे सब लापरवाही के नशे में हों।
