BG 18.7 — Chapter 18 (The Yoga of Liberation and Renunciation), Verse 7, with Sanskrit, transliteration & translation.

नियतस्य तु संन्यासः कर्मणो नोपपद्यते | मोहात्तस्य परित्यागस्तामसः परिकीर्तितः ||१८-७||

🕉

niyatasya tu saṃnyāsaḥ karmaṇo nopapadyate . mohāttasya parityāgastāmasaḥ parikīrtitaḥ ||18-7||

Roman: niyatasya tu samnyasah karmano nopapadyate . mohattasya parityagastamasah parikirtitah

Verily the renunciation of obligatory action is not proper; the abandonment of the same from delusion is declared to be Tamasic.
