Yudhiṣṭhira’s Lament for Karṇa and Renunciation-Oriented Self-Assessment (शोक-प्रलापः / त्याग-प्रवृत्तिः)
Devanagari script
न सकामा वयं ते च न चास्माभिरनन तैर्जितम् न तैर्भुक्तेयमवनिर्न नायों गीतवादितम्
Translation
ਯੁਧਿਸ਼ਠਿਰ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਇਸ ਯੁੱਧ ਨਾਲ ਨਾ ਸਾਡੀ ਕਾਮਨਾ ਪੂਰੀ ਹੋਈ, ਨਾ ਕੌਰਵਾਂ ਦੀ। ਨਾ ਸਾਡੀ ਜਿੱਤ ਹੋਈ, ਨਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਾ ਭੋਗ ਮਿਲਿਆ, ਨਾ ਇਸਤਰੀ-ਸੁਖ ਦਿੱਸਿਆ, ਨਾ ਗੀਤ-ਵਾਜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਆਨੰਦ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੋਇਆ।
