शोकव्यसनविस्तीर्णे widened with tears and troubles, दु:खसागरे in the ocean of sorrow, मज्जन्ती while you are sinking, मौर्ख्यात् out of stupidity, अनर्थदर्शिनी do not see (your own) wellbeing, आत्मानम् (your) own self, नावबुध्यसे you do not perceive.

English Commentary

You are sinking in the sea of sorrow widened with tears and troubles. But you are stupid enough not to perceive your own wellbeing.
