Pali

Duppabbajjaṁ durabhiramaṁ,
Durāvāsā gharā dukhā;
Dukkhosamānasaṁvāso,
Dukkhānupatitaddhagū;
Tasmā na caddhagū siyā,
Na ca dukkhānupatito siyā.

English

Going forth is hard, it’s hard to be happy;
life at home is hard too, and painful,
it’s painful to stay when you’ve nothing in common.
A traveler is a prey to pain,
so don’t be a traveler,
don’t be prey to pain.
