- Verse 1
bandhu-gaṇ! śunoha vacana mor bhāvete vibhora, thākiye jakhon, dekhā deya citta-cor
bandhu-gan! sunoha vacana mor bhavete vibhora, thakiye jakhon, dekha deya citta-cor
बन्धुगण्! शुनोह वचन मोर भावेते विभोर, थाकिये जखोन्, देखा देय चित्तचोर
O my dear friends! Please hear my words. When the thief of my heart appears to me, I remain overwhelmed in pure ecstasy.
- Verse 2
vicakṣana kori’, dekhite cāhile, hoy āṅkhi-agocara punaḥ nāhi dekhi’, kāṅdaye parāṇ, duḥkhera nāhi thāke or
vicaksana kori’, dekhite cahile, hoy ankhi-agocara punah nahi dekhi’, kandaye paran, duhkhera nahi thake or
विचक्षन कोरिऽ, देखिते चाहिले, होय आङ्खिअगोचर पुनः नाहि देखिऽ, काङ्दये पराण्, दुःखेर नाहि थाके ओर
When I scheme to see Him more closely, He suddenly becomes invisible. Thus losing sight of Him again, my soul weeps, and there is no limit to the unhappiness that I feel.
- Verse 3
jagatera bandhu sei kabhu more loy sātha jathā tathā rakhu more āmāra sei prāṇa-nātha
jagatera bandhu sei kabhu more loy satha jatha tatha rakhu more amara sei prana-natha
जगतेर बन्धु सेइ कभु मोरे लोय साथ जथा तथा रखु मोरे आमार सेइ प्राणनाथ
Sometimes that friend of the universe takes me as one of His associates; but however He chooses to treat me, He is still the Lord of my life.
- Verse 4
darśana-ānanda-dāne, sukha deya mora prāṇe, bole more pranaya-vacan punaḥ adarśana diyā, dagdha kore mora hiyā, prāṇe mora māre prāṇa-dhan
darsana-ananda-dane, sukha deya mora prane, bole more pranaya-vacan punah adarsana diya, dagdha kore mora hiya, prane mora mare prana-dhan
दर्शनआनन्ददाने, सुख देय मोर प्राणे, बोले मोरे प्रनयवचन पुनः अदर्शन दिया, दग्ध कोरे मोर हिया, प्राणे मोर मारे प्राणधन
By bestowing His blissful audience, He gives happiness to my soul, and He speaks words of love to me. But again by His absence He burns my heart, and He who is the treasure of my life gives distress to my soul.
- Verse 5
jāhe tā’r sukha hoy, sei sukha mama nija sukhe-duḥkhe mor sarvadā-i sama
jahe ta’r sukha hoy, sei sukha mama nija sukhe-duhkhe mor sarvada-i sama
जाहे ताऽर सुख होय्, सेइ सुख मम निज सुखेदुःखे मोर सर्वदाइ सम
Whatever His happiness is, that is also my happiness. Therefore I do not care about my own happiness or distress-they are equal in all ways.
- Verse 6
bhakativinoda, saṁyoge, viyoge, tāhe jāne prāṇeśvara tā’ra sukhe sukhī, sei prāṇa-nāth, se kabhu nā hoy para
bhakativinoda, samyoge, viyoge, tahe jane pranesvara ta’ra sukhe sukhi, sei prana-nath, se kabhu na hoy para
भकतिविनोद, संयोगे, वियोगे, ताहे जाने प्राणेश्वर ताऽर सुखे सुखी, सेइ प्राणनाथ्, से कभु ना होय पर
In meeting or in separation, Bhaktivinoda knows only Krsna to be the Lord of his life and is made happy only by His happiness. He is the Lord of Bhaktivinoda's soul, and He will never be looked upon with indifference.
