Subhāṣitaratnakoṣa 1676 (49.39)

पुरा याताः केचित्तदनु चलिताः केचिदपरे
विषादः कोऽस्माकं न हि न वयमप्यत्र गमिनः ।
मनःखेदस्त्वेवं कथमकृतसंकेतविधयो
महामार्गेऽस्मिन्नो नयनपथमेष्यन्ति सुहृदः ।।

śikhariṇī

some have departed
and others are about to go
so why get upset?
after all, so must we.
but it just hurts to think
how on this mighty road
there won't be a place
to meet up with friends again.
