Ekbar Bhavo Mane lyrics

ekbār bhāvo mane, āśā-baśe bhrami’ hethā pā’be ki sukha jīvane ke tumi, kothāy chile, ki korite hethā ele, kibā kāj kore’ gele, jā’be kothā śarīra-patane

ekbar bhavo mane, asa-base bhrami’ hetha pa’be ki sukha jivane ke tumi, kothay chile, ki korite hetha ele, kiba kaj kore’ gele, ja’be kotha sarira-patane

एक्बार भावो मने, आशाबशे भ्रमिऽ हेथा पाऽबे कि सुख जीवने के तुमि, कोथाय छिले, कि कोरिते हेथा एले, किबा काज कोरेऽ गेले, जाऽबे कोथा शरीरपतने

Consider this just once! While you wander in this world, under the control of material desires, what happiness will you achieve in this mundane life? Who are you? Where have you come from? How did you come here? What have you done? And where will you go at the time of death when your body drops?

keno sukha, duḥkha, bhoy, ahaṁtā-mamatā-moy, tuccha jay-parājay, krodha-hiṁsā, dveṣa anya-jane bhakativinoda koy, kori’ gorā-padāśroy, cid-ānanda-rasa-moy hao rādhā-kṛṣṇa-nāma-gāne

keno sukha, duhkha, bhoy, ahamta-mamata-moy, tuccha jay-parajay, krodha-himsa, dvesa anya-jane bhakativinoda koy, kori’ gora-padasroy, cid-ananda-rasa-moy hao radha-krsna-nama-gane

केनो सुख, दुःख, भोय्, अहंताममतामोय्, तुच्छ जय्पराजय्, क्रोधहिंसा, द्वेष अन्यजने भकतिविनोद कोय्, कोरिऽ गोरापदाश्रोय्, चिदानन्दरसमोय हओ राधाकृष्णनामगाने

What is the use of so much worldly happiness, distress and fear, which arise from the false egotism of "I" and "mine"? And what is the use of insignificant victory and defeat, anger, violence, and envy toward other living beings? Bhaktivinoda says, "Just take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Gaurasundara and sing the names of Radha and Krsna, and you will become saturated with the mellows of pure spiritual bliss."
