Verse 5

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Death is certain for whoever is born, and birth is certain for whoever dies. This is a law no one can set aside. Tell me, then, why be shaken over it for nothing?

Word for word

Death is certain for those born; birth is likewise certain for those who die. Tell [Me], why do you vainly become agitated over this law that cannot readily be averted?
