Translation
Ignorant of the burning nature of the fire, let the moth fall into the fiercely burning fire. Let that fish consume the meat stuck to the hook unaware of the danger. We, though knowing well the ensuing dangers knotted with countless sufferings, do not discard our lustful desires. Ah! Ah! The depth of delusion is unfathomable. ॥ 18 ॥
