आशापाशैः परीताङ्गा ये भवन्ति नरोऽर्दिताः।
ते रात्रौ शेरते नैव तदप्राप्तिविचिन्तया॥

Those afflicted by the nooses of hope cannot sleep peacefully. Their minds are agitated at night, consumed by longing and worry over unattained desire...

आशापिशाचिकाविष्टः पुरतो यस्य कस्यचित्।
वन्दते निन्दति स्तौति रोदिति प्रहसत्यपि॥

One possessed by the demoness of hope acts like a madman—he praises, insults, laughs, cries—without knowing why, driven by unpredictable desire.
