निवार्यमाणस्तु मया हितैषिणा न मृष्यसे वाक्यमिदं निशाचर। परेतकल्पा हि गतायुषो नरा हितं न गृह्णन्ति सुहृद्भिरीरितम्॥
nivāryamāṇastu mayā hitaiṣiṇā na mṛṣyase vākyamidaṃ niśācara| paretakalpā hi gatāyuṣo narā hitaṃ na gṛhṇanti suhṛdbhirīritam||
English Meaning
You do not relish my words O ranger of the night though prevented by me, who wishes you welfare; those men who range on the verge of death, well-nigh finishing the term of their existence do not receive with good grace the counsels of friends.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
