Through many births I wandered... 

Through many births I wandered...

Through many births I wandered in samsara; seeking, but not finding
The builder of this house, painful is repeated existence!
Householder! You are seen now, you shall build no house again.
Your rafters are broken! Your ridge-pole is shattered.
To dissolution goes my mind. Achieved is the destruction of craving.

Buddha, Dhammapada 153-154

*Builder of the house = craving (tanha), the cause of rebirth and suffering

***********(In Pali)**********
Anekajati Gatha

Anekajati samsaram, sandhavissam anibbisam
Gahakaram gavesanto, dukkha jati punappunam
Gahakaraka ditthosi, puna geham na kahasi
Sabba te phasuka bhagga, gahakutam visankhatam
Visankhara gatam cittam, tanhanam khayamajjhaga
