Punar Vittam Punar Mitram — Complete Lyrics
पुनर्वित्तं पुनर्मित्रम्
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
पुनर्वित्तं पुनर्मित्रं पुनर्भार्या पुनर्मही।
एतत्सर्वं पुनर्लभ्यं न शरीरं पुनः पुनः॥
punar vittaṁ punar mitraṁ punar bhāryā punar mahī।
etat sarvaṁ punar labhyaṁ na śarīraṁ punaḥ punaḥ॥
Wealth can be gained again, a friend can be found again, a spouse and land can be obtained again — all of this is regainable; but this body is not obtained again and again. Therefore the rare gift of human life should not be wasted, for it does not return so easily.
