DHAMMAPADA XI, 1

Syair 146

Mengapa tertawa, mengapa bergembira bila dunia selalu terbakar? Setelah diliputi oleh kegelapan, tidakkah engkau ingin mencari sinar?

Yagene gumuyu, yagene bungah-bungah, menawa donya iki tansah kobong. Sawise kalimputan ing pepeteng, apa kowe ora kepingin golek cahya (pepadhang).

How is there laughter, how is there joy, as this world is always burning? Do you not seek a light, ye who are surrounded by darkness?

ko nu hso kimnando

nicca pajjalite sati

andhakrena onaddh

padpa na gavessatha
