- Verse 1
sadhu-sanga na hoilo hay! gelo dina akarana, kori'artha uparjana, paramartha rohilo kothay?
sadhu-sanga na hoilo hay! gelo dina akarana, kori'artha uparjana, paramartha rohilo kothay?
सधुसन्ग न होइलो हय्! गेलो दिन अकरन, कोरिऽअर्थ उपर्जन, परमर्थ रोहिलो कोथय्?
Alas! Now I realize that all of my days had passed uselessly, for I never had the great fortune of associating with the devotees of the Lord. Therefore instead of hearing from them about the process of attaining the topmost goal of human life, I have wasted my time simply working hard to earn money.
- Verse 2
suvarna koriya tyaga, tuccha lostre anuraga. durbhagar ei to' laksana krsnetar sanga kori', sadhu-jane prihari', mada-garve katanu jibana
suvarna koriya tyaga, tuccha lostre anuraga. durbhagar ei to' laksana krsnetar sanga kori', sadhu-jane prihari', mada-garve katanu jibana
सुवर्न कोरिय त्यग, तुच्छ लोस्त्रे अनुरग. दुर्भगर एइ तोऽ लक्सन क्र्स्नेतर सन्ग कोरिऽ, सधुजने प्रिहरिऽ, मदगर्वे कतनु जिबन
This is such an unfortunate calamity, for I now consider that I have rejected pure gold simply to become attached and devoted to a small clod of dirt. In other words, I have abandoned the bright-faced golden devotees of the Lord to associate with filthy dirty persons who are averse to Krsna. Thus in their company I have passed my entire life dazed in madly intoxicated vanity.
- Verse 3
bhakti-mudra-darasane, hasya koritam mane, batulata boliya tahay je sabhyata sresta gani', harainu cintamani, sese taha rohilo kothay?
bhakti-mudra-darasane, hasya koritam mane, batulata boliya tahay je sabhyata sresta gani', harainu cintamani, sese taha rohilo kothay?
भक्तिमुद्रदरसने, हस्य कोरितम मने, बतुलत बोलिय तहय जे सभ्यत स्रेस्त गनिऽ, हरैनु चिन्तमनि, सेसे तह रोहिलो कोथय्?
Whenever I saw someone decorated with the signs of a Vaisnava like tilaka, neck beads and sikha, etc., I would laugh at them within my mind, considering them to be completely insane. Regarding this attitude of mine to be the most highly cultured behavior, I have thereby robbed myself of the transcendental association of those touch stone-like devotees. So now in the end I am wondering . . . where has all this nonsense led me to?
- Verse 4
jnaner garima bale, bhakti-rupa susambale, upeksinu svartha pasariya dusta jadasrita jnana, ebe ho'lo antardhana, karma-bhoge amake rakhiya
jnaner garima bale, bhakti-rupa susambale, upeksinu svartha pasariya dusta jadasrita jnana, ebe ho'lo antardhana, karma-bhoge amake rakhiya
ज्ननेर गरिम बले, भक्तिरुप सुसम्बले, उपेक्सिनु स्वर्थ पसरिय दुस्त जदस्रित ज्नन, एबे होऽलो अन्तर्धन, कर्मभोगे अमके रखिय
On the strength of my material education, I became puffed up and completely overlooked the most auspicious form of spiritual life, which is available only by devotional service. Thus I have completely steered clear of the ultimate goal of life. But now in my old age, all of this polluted material knowledge I worked so hard for is dwindling, for my memory is gradually fading away. Just see how I am captured and tormented in enjoying the fruits of my previous material activities!
- Verse 5
ebe jadi sadhu-jane, krpa kori' e durjane, dena bhakti-samudrer bindhu ta' hoile anayase, mukta ho'ye bhava-pase, par hoi e samsar sindhu
ebe jadi sadhu-jane, krpa kori' e durjane, dena bhakti-samudrer bindhu ta' hoile anayase, mukta ho'ye bhava-pase, par hoi e samsar sindhu
एबे जदि सधुजने, क्र्प कोरिऽ ए दुर्जने, देन भक्तिसमुद्रेर बिन्धु तऽ होइले अनयसे, मुक्त होऽये भवपसे, पर होइ ए सम्सर सिन्धु
Now I have just one last hope. If only the devotees would be merciful to this sinful rogue by sprinkling me with one drop from the bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, the nectarine ocean of pure devotion, then I will be satisfied. By the sweet influence of that single drop, I will instantly and effortlessly become liberated from the strong grip of this material world, and thus I will finally be able to cross over the ocean of nescience.
