saḥ aham - myself; śūnye - empty; gṛhe - in the house; dīnaḥ - wretched; mṛta-dāraḥ - my wife dead; mṛta-prajaḥ - my children dead; jijīviṣe - I should want to live; kim artham - for what purpose; vā - indeed; vidhuraḥ - suffering separation; duḥkha - miserable; jīvitaḥ - my life.

Now I am a wretched person living in an empty home. My wife is dead; my children are dead. Why should I possibly want to live? My heart is so pained by separation from my family that life itself has become simply suffering.
