Vibbhantabhikkhuvatthu

Pali

Yo nibbanatho vanādhimutto,
Vanamutto vanameva dhāvati;
Taṁ puggalametha passatha,
Mutto bandhanameva dhāvati.

English

Unsnarled, they set out for the jungle,
then they run right back to the jungle they left behind.
Just look at this individual!
Freed, they run to bondage.
