ruper gaurava keno bhai anitya e kalebar, kabhu nahe sthiratar, samana aile kichu nai e anga sitala ho'be, ankhi spanda-hina ro'be, citar agune ho'be chai
ruper gaurava keno bhai anitya e kalebar, kabhu nahe sthiratar, samana aile kichu nai e anga sitala ho'be, ankhi spanda-hina ro'be, citar agune ho'be chai
रुपेर गौरव केनो भै अनित्य ए कलेबर्, कभु नहे स्थिरतर्, समन ऐले किछु नै ए अन्ग सितल होऽबे, अन्खि स्पन्दहिन रोऽबे, चितर अगुने होऽबे छै
Oh mind, my dear friend, why is your bodily beauty such an object of your proud vanity? This body is temporary, and there is no certainty whatsoever of permanence. After Yamaraja has paid his visit and taken your soul away, this body will then become cold. The eyes will remain motionless, and in the fiery funeral pyre it will simply turn into ashes.
- Verse 2
je saundarya hero, darpanete nirantar, sva-sibar hoibe bhojana je bastre adara koro', jeba abarana para', kotha saba rohibe takhan?
je saundarya hero, darpanete nirantar, sva-sibar hoibe bhojana je bastre adara koro', jeba abarana para', kotha saba rohibe takhan?
जे सौन्दर्य हेरो, दर्पनेते निरन्तर्, स्वसिबर होइबे भोजन जे बस्त्रे अदर कोरोऽ, जेब अबरन परऽ, कोथ सब रोहिबे तखन्?
Mind, you repeatedly behold the lovely handsomeness of this face, which is your favorite object of constant vanity. It will simply become delicious food for dogs and jackals. At that time, where will you keep all the decorative ornaments and valuable clothes which you appreciate with such high esteem?
- Verse 3
dara suta bandhu sabe, smasane tomare lo'be, dagdha kori' grhete asibe tumi ka'r, ke tomar, ebe bujhi 'dekho sar, deho-nasa abasya ghatibe
dara suta bandhu sabe, smasane tomare lo'be, dagdha kori' grhete asibe tumi ka'r, ke tomar, ebe bujhi 'dekho sar, deho-nasa abasya ghatibe
दर सुत बन्धु सबे, स्मसने तोमरे लोऽबे, दग्ध कोरिऽ ग्र्हेते असिबे तुमि कऽर्, के तोमर्, एबे बुझि ऽदेखो सर्, देहोनस अबस्य घतिबे
Your beloved wife, sons and friends will take you to the crematorium, and after burning you they will simply return back to their homes. You belong to whom? And whom belongs to you? Now just try to grasp the essential significance of all this. That is, the destruction of this temporary body will definitely come to pass.
- Verse 4
su-nitya-sambala cao, hari-guna sada gao, harinama japaha sadai ku-tarka chariya mana, koro' krsna aradhana, binoder asroy tahai
su-nitya-sambala cao, hari-guna sada gao, harinama japaha sadai ku-tarka chariya mana, koro' krsna aradhana, binoder asroy tahai
सुनित्यसम्बल चओ, हरिगुन सद गओ, हरिनम जपह सदै कुतर्क छरिय मन, कोरोऽ क्र्स्न अरधन, बिनोदेर अस्रोय तहै
My dear mind, if you really want the eternal, auspicious way of life, then just sing aloud the glories of the Lord always and everywhere. Also, one should certainly chant Harinama japa at all times. Abandoning all useless arguments, dear mind, just worship Krsna, for such worship is certainly the only shelter of Bhaktivinoda.
