  1. Verse 1

    ghare bose’ bāul hao re mana, keno korbi duṣṭa ācaraṇa

    ghare bose’ baul hao re mana, keno korbi dusta acarana

    घरे बोसेऽ बाउल हओ रे मन, केनो कोर्बि दुष्ट आचरण

    O my dear mind! May you become a transcendentally maddened Baul while remaining at home! Why do you engage in wicked activities?

  2. Verse 2

    mane mane rākhbi bāul-bhāva, saṅga chāḍi’ dharma-bhāve korbi viṣaya lābha jīvana jāpana korbi, hari-nāmānande sarva-kṣaṇa

    mane mane rakhbi baul-bhava, sanga chadi’ dharma-bhave korbi visaya labha jivana japana korbi, hari-namanande sarva-ksana

    मने मने राख्बि बाउल्भाव, सङ्ग छाडिऽ धर्मभावे कोर्बि विषय लाभ जीवन जापन कोर्बि, हरिनामानन्दे सर्वक्षण

    You may keep the mood of a Baul within your mind, and giving up improper association you will automatically obtain sense pleasures in accordance with religious principles. Thus you will pass your life while every moment experiencing the bliss of Hari-nama.

  3. Verse 3

    jata-dina hṛdoy-śodhana noy, ghara chāḍle pare `markaṭa-vairāgī’ tā’re koy hṛdoy-doṣe ripur bośe, pade pade tā’r patana

    jata-dina hrdoy-sodhana noy, ghara chadle pare `markata-vairagi’ ta’re koy hrdoy-dose ripur bose, pade pade ta’r patana

    जतदिन हृदोय्शोधन नोय्, घर छाड्ले परे `मर्कटवैरागीऽ ताऽरे कोय हृदोय्दोषे रिपुर बोशे, पदे पदे ताऽर पतन

    One who renounces his home while his heart is not yet purified is called a markata-vairagi ("monkey-like renunciant"). By the heart being full of offenses, acting under the control of the enemy, one sinks lower and lower at every step.

  4. Verse 4

    eṅcaḍe-pākā vairāgī je hoy, parer nārī lo’ye pāler godā ho’ye roy (ābār) artha-lobhe dvāre dvāre kore nīcer ārādhana

    encade-paka vairagi je hoy, parer nari lo’ye paler goda ho’ye roy (abar) artha-lobhe dvare dvare kore nicer aradhana

    एङ्चडेपाका वैरागी जे होय्, परेर नारी लोऽये पालेर गोदा होऽये रोय (आबार्) अर्थलोभे द्वारे द्वारे कोरे नीचेर आराधन

    A renunciant immature in renunciation is one who swindles the wives of others and thus remains just like a fat monkey in charge of a harem of female monkeys. Furthermore, such a person goes from door to door out of greed to receive monetary donations. Thus he engages in the so-called worship of even fallen and degraded souls.

  5. Verse 5

    ghare bose’ pākāo nijer mana, ār sakala-dina koro harir nām-saṅkīrtana tabe cāṅd bāuler saṅge śeṣe korbi saṁsāra visarjana

    ghare bose’ pakao nijer mana, ar sakala-dina koro harir nam-sankirtana tabe cand bauler sange sese korbi samsara visarjana

    घरे बोसेऽ पाकाओ निजेर मन, आर सकलदिन कोरो हरिर नाम्सङ्कीर्तन तबे चाङ्द बाउलेर सङ्गे शेषे कोर्बि संसार विसर्जन

    May your own mind become ripened with maturity while remaining at home. And just perform Hari-nama sankirtan each and every day. Then, in Cand Baul's company, you shall utterly renounce the material world.
