(1)
gāite gāite nāma ki daśā hoilo
`kṛṣṇa-nitya-dāsa mui’ hṛdoye sphurilo
(2)
jānilām māyā-pāśe e jaḍa-jagate
govinda-virahe duḥkha pāi nānā-mate

ār je saḿsāra mor nāhi lāge bhālo
kāhā jāi’ kṛṣṇa heri—e cintā viśālo

śrī-kṛṣṇa-viraha ār sahite nā pāri
parān chāḍite ār din dui cāri
TRANSLATION
-
What was my condition after repeatedly chanting the holy name? The realization that “I am the eternal servant of Krsna” spontaneously became manifest within my heart.
-
I realized that I was ensnared in the noose of maya’s illusion, being trapped within this dull mundane universe, and that I simply experience misery in various ways due to separation from Lord Govinda.
-
Furthermore, I realized that I do not like this worldly existence. “Where can I go to see Krsna?"-this was my great anxiety.
-
Crying and crying, tears poured from my eyes, appearing just like torrents of rain in the monsoon season.
-
Unable to bear separation from Lord Govinda any longer, for me the passing of a moment became like a hundred long ages.
-
As I look about in all directions, the surface of the earth appears to be void, and my very life-breath feels empty. What am I doing? What am I doing? I do not feel at all tranquil, and the life within my body is slipping away.
-
O residents of Vraja-dhama! Please save my life and show me the Lord of Sri Radha! Oh, please consider the prayers of this Bhaktivinoda and take him into His company!
-
I am unable to further tolerate this separation from my Lord Sri Krsna and am ready to give up my life in two days or four.
