jīvitaṃ aciraṃ hetaṃ, āyukappaṃ sududdasaṃ; mayameva pi ye maccā, tattha paññāya paṇḍito; appamādaṃ ca bhāveyya, khippaṃ pi kusalaṃ kato. Indeed this life is short, it is difficult to see the time limit of one’s life; we are only those who are mere mortals, having fully understood thus, the wise one; would cultivate heedfulness and also have done quickly good deeds.

A mere mortal (in Pāli)
jīvitaṃ aciraṃ hetaṃ, āyukappaṃ sududdasaṃ; mayameva pi ye maccā, tattha paññāya paṇḍito; appamādaṃ ca bhāveyya, khippaṃ pi kusalaṃ kato. Indeed this life is short, it is difficult to see the time limit of one’s life; we are only those who are mere mortals, having fully understood thus, the wise one; would cultivate heedfulness and also have done quickly good deeds.
Pāli is one of the Middle Indic languages
