कान्ता इमे मे तनया इमे मे
गृहा इमे मे पशवस्त्विमे मे ।
एवं नरो मेषसमानरूपः
मे मे कृतः कालवृकेण नीतः ॥

kāntā ime me tanayā ime me
gṛhā ime me paśavas-tvime me |
evaṃ naro meṣa-samāna-rūpaḥ
me me kṛtaḥ kāla-vṛkeṇa nītaḥ ||

These beloveds are mine; these children are mine; these houses are mine; these cattle are mine. Man is just like a sheep bleating ‘me-‘ ‘me-‘, when caught by the wolf in the form of Time or Death. (‘me’ in Sanskrit means mine, pronounced as “may” like the ‘bleating’ of sheep).
