anitya - not eternal; anātma - not the real self; duḥkheṣu - in the sources of misery; viparyaya - backwards; matiḥ - whose mentality; hi - indeed; aham - I; dvandva - in duality; ārāmaḥ - taking pleasure; tamaḥ - in ignorance; viṣṭaḥ - absorbed; na jāne - I fail to recognize; tvā - You; ātmanaḥ - of myself; priyam - the dearmost.

Thus mistaking the temporary for the eternal, my body for my self, and sources of misery for sources of happiness, I have tried to take pleasure in material dualities. Covered in this way by ignorance, I could not recognize You as the real object of my love.
