  1. Verse 1

    ore mana, karmer kuhare gelo kal svargadi sukher ase,porilam karma-phanse, urnanabhi-sama karma-jal

    ore mana, karmer kuhare gelo kal svargadi sukher ase,porilam karma-phanse, urnanabhi-sama karma-jal

    ओरे मन, कर्मेर कुहरे गेलो कल स्वर्गदि सुखेर असे,पोरिलम कर्मफन्से, उर्ननभिसम कर्मजल

    Oh my dear mind! What shall I say to you now? All my time has been spent inside the deep pit of fruitive activities. With high hopes of future happiness in the heavenly planets, I have fallen into the trap of fruitive actions and reaction, which is exactly like the entangling web of a spider.

  2. Verse 2

    upavasa-brata dhori',nana kaya-klesa kori', bhasme ghrta daliya apar marilam nija dose,jara-maraner phanse, hoibare narinu uddhar

    upavasa-brata dhori',nana kaya-klesa kori', bhasme ghrta daliya apar marilam nija dose,jara-maraner phanse, hoibare narinu uddhar

    उपवसब्रत धोरिऽ,नन कयक्लेस कोरिऽ, भस्मे घ्र्त दलिय अपर मरिलम निज दोसे,जरमरनेर फन्से, होइबरे नरिनु उद्धर

    Observing many different types of austere vows and fasting to achieve some future heavenly goal, I thus performed such useless physical labor for no real tangible result. This was just like pouring oblations of ghee onto dry ashes only. Now I am being strangled within the noose of karma, being destroyed by my own foolish nonsense. And the only result is that I have not been able to deliver myself from this predicament.

  3. Verse 3

    barnasrama-dharma yaji',nana deba-debi bhaji', mada-garve katainu jibana sthira na hoilo mana,na labhinu santi-dhana, na bhyajinu sri-krsna-carana

    barnasrama-dharma yaji',nana deba-debi bhaji', mada-garve katainu jibana sthira na hoilo mana,na labhinu santi-dhana, na bhyajinu sri-krsna-carana

    बर्नस्रमधर्म यजिऽ,नन देबदेबि भजिऽ, मदगर्वे कतैनु जिबन स्थिर न होइलो मन,न लभिनु सन्तिधन, न भ्यजिनु स्रिक्र्स्नचरन

    I conducted many sacrifices in honor of many different demigods and goddesses, as is recommended for householders in the varnasrama-dharma system. But by doing this I only became so puffed up that I wasted my whole life in such delirious pride. I never got any peace of mind by doing all this, for I completely missed out on the golden treasure of spiritual satisfaction. So much trouble I underwent because I never worshiped the beautiful lotus feet of Sri Krsna!

  4. Verse 4

    dhik mor e jibane,dhik mor dhana-jane, dhik mor barna-abhimana dhik mor kula-mane,dhik sastra adhyayane, hari-bhakti na pailo sthana

    dhik mor e jibane,dhik mor dhana-jane, dhik mor barna-abhimana dhik mor kula-mane,dhik sastra adhyayane, hari-bhakti na pailo sthana

    धिक मोर ए जिबने,धिक मोर धनजने, धिक मोर बर्नअभिमन धिक मोर कुलमने,धिक सस्त्र अध्ययने, हरिभक्ति न पैलो स्थन

    Therefore to hell with my whole life! To hell with all my wealth and followers! To hell with my caste-pride! To hell with all my so-called dignity of family prestige! To hell with my studies of the karma-khanda scriptures, for I have not become fixed up in pure devotion to Lord Hari!
