Tayojanapabbajitavatthu

Pali

Ayoge yuñjamattānaṁ,
yogasmiñca ayojayaṁ;
Atthaṁ hitvā piyaggāhī,
pihetattānuyoginaṁ.

English

Applying yourself where you ought not,
neglecting what you should be doing,
forgetting your goal, you cling to what you hold dear,
jealous of those devoted to their heart’s goal.
