Verse 1
हरि हरि ! विफले जनम गोङाइनु ।
मनुष्य-जनम पाइया, राधा-कृष्ण ना भजिया,
जानिया शुनिया विष खाइनु ॥
hari hari! viphale janama goṅāinu
manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā,
jāniyā śuniyā viṣa khāinu
O Lord Hari, Lord Hari! I have spent my life in vain. Having obtained this rare human birth, I failed to worship Radha and Krishna, and knowingly drank poison.
Verse 2
गोलकेरु प्रेम-धन, हरि-नाम-सङ्कीर्तन,
रति ना जन्मिल केने ताय ।
विषय-विषानले, दिवा-निशि हिया जले,
जुडाइते ना कैनु उपाय ॥
golokeru prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana,
rati nā janmila kene tāya
viṣaya-viṣānale, divā-niśi hiyā jale,
juḍāite nā kainu upāya
The treasure of divine love descending from Goloka has appeared as Harinama Sankirtana: why did attraction for it not arise in my heart? Day and night my heart burns in the poisonous fire of worldly desires.
Verse 3
ब्रजेन्द्र-नन्दन येइ, शची-सुत हइल सेइ,
बलराम हइल निताइ ।
दीन-हीन यत छिल, हरि-नामे उद्धारिल,
ता’र साक्षी जगाइ-माधाइ ॥
vrajendra-nandana yei, śacī-suta ha-ila sei,
balarāma ha-ila nitāi
dīna-hīna yata chila, hari-nāme uddhārila,
tā’ra sākṣī jagāi-mādhāi
He who was the son of Nanda Maharaja has appeared as the son of Saci, and Balarama has appeared as Nitai. They delivered all the poor and fallen through Harinama, and the living proof of this is Jagai and Madhai!
