Devanagari script

सुखं च दुःखं च भवाभवौ च लाभालाभौ मरणं जीवितं च । पर्यायत: सर्वमवाप्रुवन्ति तस्माद्‌ धीरो नैव हृष्येन्न शोचेत्‌

Transliteration

sukhaṃ ca duḥkhaṃ ca bhavābhavau ca lābhālābhau maraṇaṃ jīvitaṃ ca | paryāyataḥ sarvam avāpruvanti tasmād dhīro naiva hṛṣyen na śocet ||

Translation

सुख और दुःख, उत्पत्ति और विनाश, लाभ और हानि, मृत्यु और जीवन—ये सब क्रमशः समय आने पर सबको प्राप्त होते हैं। इसलिए धीर पुरुष न तो हर्ष करे, न शोक; वह स्थिर बुद्धि से इनका सामना करे।
