LYRICS:
(1)
ohe, premera ṭhākura gorā
prāṇera yātanā kivā kaba, nātha! hayechi āpana-hārā
(2)
ki āra baliba, je-kājera tore
enechile, nātha! jagate āmāre,
eta-dina pare kahite se kathā, khede duḥkhe hai sārā
(3)
tomāra bhajane nā janmila rati,
jaḍa-mohe matta sadā duramati –
viṣayīra kāche theke theke āmi hainu viṣayī-pārā
(4)
ke āmi, kena je esechi ekhāne,
se-kathā kakhana nāhi bhāvi mane,
kakhana bhogera, kakhana tyāgera chalanāya mana nāce
(5)
ki gati haibe kakhana bhāvi nā,
hari-bhakatera kācheo jāi nā,
hari-vimukhera ku-lakṣaṇa jata āmātei saba ache
(6)
śrī-guru-kṛpāya bheńgeche svapana,
bujhechi ekhana tumi-i āpana,
tava nija-jana parama-bāndhava saḿsāra kārāgāre
(7)
āna nā bhajiba bhakta-pada vinu,
rātula-caraṇe śaraṇa loinu,
uddhāraho nātha! māyā-jāla ha’te e dāsera keśe dho’re
(8)
pātakīre tumi kṛpā kara nāki?
jagāi-mādhāi chila je pātakī,
tāhāte jenechi, premera ṭhākura! pātakīreo tāra tumi
(9)
āmi bhakti-hīna, dīna, akiñcana –
aparādhī-śire dāo du’ caraṇa,
tomāra abhaya śrī caraṇe cira – śaraṇa lainu āmi
TRANSLATION
-
O Sri Gaurasundara, worshipable Lord of prema! O my master! What will I tell You of my sorrows and sufferings? I have forgotten my original identity.
-
O my Lord, what more can I say? After enduring many wounds inflicted from my difficulties, then many days later I remembered the reason for which You gave me birth in this world.
-
O Lord! I’m so unfortunate that I had no attachment for worshiping You but was always evil-minded and mad for material enjoyment. Living with sense enjoyers, I became like them.
-
Who am I? Why am I in this world? These questions I never pondered. Sometimes enjoying, sometimes renouncing – my mind was dancing in this cheating.
-
I never considered what would be my outcome. I never associated with Krsna’s devotees, and I exhibited all bad signs of being opposed to Bhagavan.
-
Now, by Sri Guru’s grace my eyes have been opened and my dream has been broken. I now understand that I have only You and that Your beloved devotees are my greatest friends in the prison house of this material world.
-
Now I worship Your devotees exclusively and will serve no one else. O Natha! Now I have taken shelter of Your lotus feet, which are like red lotuses. Pulling me by the hair, please deliver me from Maya’s net.
-
Do You not bestow Your mercy on the sinners? Were not Jagai and Madhai also fallen? Yet You gave them Your mercy. From this I can understand that You are the Lord of prema and the deliverer of the fallen.
-
O Prabhu, I am devoid of bhakti, wretched, and destitute. Put Your feet that grant fearlessness on the head of this offender. I take shelter of Your divine feet.
