Swami Swarupananda, Srimad Bhagavad Gita (1909)
[4]For certain is death for the born and certain is birth for the dead; therefore, over the inevitable, you should not grieve.
BG 2.27
जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च। तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि॥
jātasya hi dhruvo mṛtyur dhruvaṃ janma mṛtasya ca / tasmād aparihārye 'rthe na tvaṃ śocitum arhasi
"Birth means death is certain. Death means birth is certain. Grief over the unavoidable serves no one."

[7]For that which is born, death is certain; For that which is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, over the inevitable, thou shouldst not grieve.
K.T. Telang, Sacred Books of the East Vol. 8 (1882)
[9]Death is certain for every being born; and birth is certain for every being that dies. Therefore, over this inevitable cause, thou shouldst not mourn.
