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
