Bhaja Bhaja Hari Mana Drdha Kari lyrics

bhaja bhaja hari, mana dṛḍha kari’, mukhe bolo tā’ra nāma vrajendra-nandana gopī-prāṇa-dhana, bhuvana mohana śyāma

bhaja bhaja hari, mana drdha kari’, mukhe bolo ta’ra nama vrajendra-nandana gopi-prana-dhana, bhuvana mohana syama

भज भज हरि, मन दृढ करिऽ, मुखे बोलो ताऽर नाम व्रजेन्द्रनन्दन गोपीप्राणधन, भुवन मोहन श्याम

O my dear mind, with staunch faith perform hari-bhajana, without which you cannot be delivered. And with your mouth chant the names of Vrajendra-nandana, Gopé-prana-dhana (the life and wealth of the gopis) and Syamasundara, whose beauty en-chants the whole material manifestation.

kakhana maribe, kemane taribe, viṣama śamana ḍāke jāhāra pratāpe, bhuvana kāpaye, nā jāni mara vipāke

kakhana maribe, kemane taribe, visama samana dake jahara pratape, bhuvana kapaye, na jani mara vipake

कखन मरिबे, केमने तरिबे, विषम शमन डाके जाहार प्रतापे, भुवन कापये, ना जानि मर विपाके

There is no certainty when your life will finish, and you also never think about your deliverance from the material world. But very fearsome Yamadutas are standing near you. Bhagavan, whose power causes the three worlds to tremble in fear, You have forgotten. This is your misfortune. Thus, you are suffering in this material world from different kinds of miseries, and now you are about to die.

kula-dhana pāiyā, unmatta haiyā, āpanāke jāna baḍa śamanera dūte, dhari’, pāye hāte, bādhiyā karibe jaḍa

kula-dhana paiya, unmatta haiya, apanake jana bada samanera dute, dhari’, paye hate, badhiya karibe jada

कुलधन पाइया, उन्मत्त हैया, आपनाके जान बड शमनेर दूते, धरिऽ, पाये हाते, बाधिया करिबे जड

You have become intoxicated by your high birth and wealth, thinking yourself very high class. But you have forgotten that one day the Yamadutas will take you, tying up your hands and feet.

kivā yati satī, kivā nīca jāti, jei hari nāhi bhaje tabe janamiyā, bhramiyā bhramiyā, raurava-narake maje

kiva yati sati, kiva nica jati, jei hari nahi bhaje tabe janamiya, bhramiya bhramiya, raurava-narake maje

किवा यति सती, किवा नीच जाति, जेइ हरि नाहि भजे तबे जनमिया, भ्रमिया भ्रमिया, रौरवनरके मजे

So whether one is a sannyasi or a very low-caste person, without performing hari-bhajana, one will continue to rotate in the samsara and go to the hell named Raurava.

e dāsa locana, bhāve anukṣaṇa, michāi janama gela hari nā bhajinu, viṣaye majinu, hṛdaye rahala śela

e dasa locana, bhave anuksana, michai janama gela hari na bhajinu, visaye majinu, hrdaye rahala sela

ए दास लोचन, भावे अनुक्षण, मिछाइ जनम गेल हरि ना भजिनु, विषये मजिनु, हृदये रहल शेल

Locana dasa says, “I have never done any hari-bhajana, having been absorbed in sense enjoyment. In this way my human form of life has been wasted. And this causes excruciating pain like a thorn piercing my heart.
