Aṭṭhi loke sīla-guno

Sacca-kiriya-anuttaraṃ.

Santi pādā avancanā,                                       

Matā pitā ca nikkhantā,                                    

Jata-veda patikhama.                                       

Here are wings with no feathers,Here are feet that can’t walk,My mother & father have left me,Fire, go back!

Saha sacce kate mayhaṃ,                               

Mahapajjalitosikhī,
