By Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

udila aruna purava-bhage
dvija-mani gora amani jage
bhakata-samuha la-iya sathe
(gora) gela nagara-vraje [1]

At the crack of dawn the jewel of the brahmans, Sri Gorachand, awakes. Taking His devotees with Him, He goes out about the town.

'tathai tathai' bajala khola
ghana ghana tahe jhanjera rola
preme dhala dhala sonara anga
(gorar) charane nupura baje [2]

The mridangas resound 'tathai tathai' to the beat of the cymbals as Gaurasundar's golden form sways with ecstatic love and His footbells jingle.

mukunda madhava yadava hari
balena bala re vadana bhari'
michhe nida-vase gela re rati
divasa sarira saje [3]

He calls out, "Chant aloud Mukunda, Madhava, Yadava, Hari! Uselessly you pass the night asleep and the day decorating your body.

emana durlabha manava-deha
paiya ki kara bhavana keha
ebe na bhajile yasoda-suta
charame padibe laje [4]

"Having attained this rare human body, what are you thinking? If you do not serve Krishna now, lastly you will fall into shame.

udita tapana ha-ile asta
dina gela bali' ha-ibe vyasta
tabe kena ebe alasa ha-i'
na bhaja hrdaya-raje [5]

"When the shining sun sets, you become busy, considering that the day has passed. So why are you being lazy now? Why don't you serve the Lord of your heart?

jivana anitya janaha sara
tahe nana-vidha vipada-bhara
namasraya kari' yatane tumi
thakaha apana kaje [6]

"Understand the essence: life is temporary and filled with all sorts of adversity. Carefully taking shelter of the Name, engage in your work."

krsna-nama-sudha kariya pana
judao bhakati-vinoda-prana
nama vina kichhu nahika ara
chaudda-bhuvana-majhe [7]

Drink the nectar of Krishna's Name and soothe Bhakti Vinod's soul. There is nothing to be had but the Name in all the fourteen worlds.

jivera kalyana-sadhana-kama
jagate asi' e madhura nama
avidya-timira-tapana-rupe
hrd-gagane viraje [8]

Desiring to bless all souls, the Lord's sweet Name comes to this world and arises like the Sun within the sky of the heart to dispel the darkness of ignorance.
