  1. Verse 1

    avatāra-sāra, gorā-avatāra, kena nā bhajili tā’re kari’ nīre vāsa, gela nā piyāsa, āpana karama phere

    avatara-sara, gora-avatara, kena na bhajili ta’re kari’ nire vasa, gela na piyasa, apana karama phere

    अवतारसार, गोराअवतार, केन ना भजिलि ताऽरे करिऽ नीरे वास, गेल ना पियास, आपन करम फेरे

    O my mind, why don’t you worship Sri Gaurasundara, the crown-jewel of all incarnations? You always stay in water but your thirst is never satiated due to your own past bad activities.

  2. Verse 2

    kaṇṭakera taru, sadāi sevili (mana), amṛta pāibāra āśe prema-kalpataru, śrī gaurāṅga āmāra, tāhāre bhāvili vine

    kantakera taru, sadai sevili (mana), amrta paibara ase prema-kalpataru, sri gauranga amara, tahare bhavili vine

    कण्टकेर तरु, सदाइ सेविलि (मन), अमृत पाइबार आशे प्रेमकल्पतरु, श्री गौराङ्ग आमार, ताहारे भाविलि विने

    You always hope to attain sweet, juicy fruits from your worship of thorn trees, but this is not possible. Our Gaurasundara is a desire-tree offering divine love, but you left Him, thinking Him to be poison.

  3. Verse 3

    saurabhera āśe, palāśa ślkili (mana), nāśāte paśila kīṭa ikṣudaṇḍa bhāvi’, kāṭha cuṣili (mana), kemane pāibi miṭha

    saurabhera ase, palasa slkili (mana), nasate pasila kita iksudanda bhavi’, katha cusili (mana), kemane paibi mitha

    सौरभेर आशे, पलाश श्ल्किलि (मन), नाशाते पशिल कीट इक्षुदण्ड भाविऽ, काठ चुषिलि (मन), केमने पाइबि मिठ

    O my mind, searching for some sweet aroma, you smell the beautiful palasa flower (but it has no scent), and instead, an insect from the flower enters your nose. You suck on dry wood, mistaking it for sugar cane, so how can you get any sweet juice?

  4. Verse 4

    hāra baliyā, galāya parili (mana), śamana kiṅkara-sāpa śītala baliyā, āguna pohāli (mana), pāili vajara tāpa

    hara baliya, galaya parili (mana), samana kinkara-sapa sitala baliya, aguna pohali (mana), paili vajara tapa

    हार बलिया, गलाय परिलि (मन), शमन किङ्करसाप शीतल बलिया, आगुन पोहालि (मन), पाइलि वजर ताप

    O my mind, death is like snake which you put around your neck, thinking it to be a garland. You entered fire, thinking it to be cool, and suffered excruciating burning.

  5. Verse 5

    saṁsāra bhajili, śrī gaurāṅga bhulili, nā sunili sādhura kathā iha parakāla, du’kāla khoyāli (mana), khāili āpana māthā

    samsara bhajili, sri gauranga bhulili, na sunili sadhura katha iha parakala, du’kala khoyali (mana), khaili apana matha

    संसार भजिलि, श्री गौराङ्ग भुलिलि, ना सुनिलि साधुर कथा इह परकाल, दुऽकाल खोयालि (मन), खाइलि आपन माथा

    O my mind, enjoying material pleasures, you never heeded the devotees’ words and forgot Gaurasundara. Thus, both this world and the next are lost to you.
