Amar Nitai Mile Na lyrics

āmār nitāi mile nā bholā mana gaura mile nā sārā gāye mākhile tilak gaura mile nā

amar nitai mile na bhola mana gaura mile na sara gaye makhile tilak gaura mile na

आमार निताइ मिले ना भोला मन गौर मिले ना सारा गाये माखिले तिलक गौर मिले ना

O naïve mind, I did not meet Nitai! I did not meet Gaura! Even though my entire body is covered with tilak, I did not meet Gaura!

bhitor bāher ṭhik nā hole suddha gaura prem ki kothāy mile o tor ṭhik nā hole upāśanā milbe nā tor se sonā

bhitor baher thik na hole suddha gaura prem ki kothay mile o tor thik na hole upasana milbe na tor se sona

भितोर बाहेर ठिक ना होले सुद्ध गौर प्रेम कि कोथाय मिले ओ तोर ठिक ना होले उपाशना मिल्बे ना तोर से सोना

How can you come across the love of Sri Gaura if you are not proper, internally and externally? If your worship is not proper, you will not find that gold (love of Sri Gaura)!

mana pariskār koro āge gaura bhajan anurāge (anurāge, bholā mana, mana re āmār) anurāge tilakete gaura bhajan holo nā (hāi bholā mana)

mana pariskar koro age gaura bhajan anurage (anurage, bhola mana, mana re amar) anurage tilakete gaura bhajan holo na (hai bhola mana)

मन परिस्कार कोरो आगे गौर भजन अनुरागे (अनुरागे, भोला मन, मन रे आमार्) अनुरागे तिलकेते गौर भजन होलो ना (हाइ भोला मन)

With cleansing of one’s mind, one can develop love for Sri Gaura. But if you develop love for decorating your body with tilak, you are not worshipping Lord Caitanya! (O my naïve mind, you are not worshipping Gaura!)

jei jana nitya bastu ādor kore āmār doyāl nitāi tāṅhāra ghore tāre bhakti bhāve ḍākle pore utor sādhan saphal ha’be (viphal ha’be nā)

jei jana nitya bastu ador kore amar doyal nitai tanhara ghore tare bhakti bhave dakle pore utor sadhan saphal ha’be (viphal ha’be na)

जेइ जन नित्य बस्तु आदोर कोरे आमार दोयाल निताइ ताङ्हार घोरे तारे भक्ति भावे डाक्ले पोरे उतोर साधन सफल हऽबे (विफल हऽबे ना)

To that person who always respects this item (the love of Lord Caitanya), my merciful Nitai will be present at their home. If you call out with feelings of devotion, your austerity will become successful. (It will not become a failure!)
