Maner Mala Japbi Jakhon lyrics

maner mālā japbi jakhan, mana, keno korbi bāhya visarjana mane mane bhajan jakhan hoy, prema uṭhle paḍe’ bāhya-dehe vyāpta ho’ye roy; ābār dehe care, japāy kore, dharāy mālā anukṣaṇa

maner mala japbi jakhan, mana, keno korbi bahya visarjana mane mane bhajan jakhan hoy, prema uthle pade’ bahya-dehe vyapta ho’ye roy; abar dehe care, japay kore, dharay mala anuksana

मनेर माला जप्बि जखन्, मन, केनो कोर्बि बाह्य विसर्जन मने मने भजन जखन होय्, प्रेम उठ्ले पडेऽ बाह्यदेहे व्याप्त होऽये रोय्; आबार देहे चरे, जपाय कोरे, धराय माला अनुक्षण

My dear mind, when you chant japa on the mala within your mind, why do you cease the actions of chanting japa externally? When one performs bhajan within the mind, and prema factually arises internally, then the external body also becomes pervaded by those symptoms. Therefore the body rocks and sways, while one incessantly turns their beads in chanting japa.

je vyāṭā bhaṇḍa-tāpasa hoy, baka-biḍāla dekhā’ye bāhya ninde atiśoy; nije juta pe’le kāminī-kanaka kore sadā saṁghaṭana

je vyata bhanda-tapasa hoy, baka-bidala dekha’ye bahya ninde atisoy; nije juta pe’le kamini-kanaka kore sada samghatana

जे व्याटा भण्डतापस होय्, बकबिडाल देखाऽये बाह्य निन्दे अतिशोय्; निजे जुत पेऽले कामिनीकनक कोरे सदा संघटन

This improper form of mental chanting is the tendency of the pretentious so-called renunciants. As displayed in the fables of the crane and cat, such renunciation is extremely contemptible. Although such a trait is shown externally, whenever one gains an opportunity to enjoy women and wealth he continually indulges.

se vyāṭār bhitora phakkākār, bāhya-sādhana-nindā boi ār āche kibā tā’r (nijer) mana bhālo dekhā-te giye ninde sādhu-ācaraṇa

se vyatar bhitora phakkakar, bahya-sadhana-ninda boi ar ache kiba ta’r (nijer) mana bhalo dekha-te giye ninde sadhu-acarana

से व्याटार भितोर फक्काकार्, बाह्यसाधननिन्दा बोइ आर आछे किबा ताऽर (निजेर्) मन भालो देखाते गिये निन्दे साधुआचरण

Inside such a man is merely an empty cavity of deceit. What does he have to express other than direct blasphemy of the process of executing external sadhana-bhakti? He thus makes a show of his own mental concoctions as being supposedly "superior" while he openly condemns the activities of the true sadhus.

śuddha kori’ bhitora bāhira, bhāi, hari-nām korte thāko, tarke kāj nāi, (śuṣka) tomār tarka korte jīvana jā’be cāṅda-bāul tāy duḥkhī ho’no

suddha kori’ bhitora bahira, bhai, hari-nam korte thako, tarke kaj nai, (suska) tomar tarka korte jivana ja’be canda-baul tay duhkhi ho’no

शुद्ध कोरिऽ भितोर बाहिर, भाइ, हरिनाम कोर्ते थाको, तर्के काज नाइ, (शुष्क) तोमार तर्क कोर्ते जीवन जाऽबे चाङ्दबाउल ताय दुःखी होऽनो

O dear brother! Purify yourself both internally and externally. Stay engaged in chanting Hari-nama, instead of simply babbling stubbornly with controversial attitudes. When you pass your life consumed with dry arguments, then Cand Baul becomes very sad.
