Viraha-giti
ye anila prema-dhana karuna prachura
hena prabhu kotha gela acharya thakura [1]
Where has Srinivas Acharya Thakur, my Lord who has very mercifully brought
the wealth of divine love to this world, gone?
kaha mora svarupa rupa kaha sanatana
kaha dasa raghunatha patita-pavana [2]
Where are my Svarap and Rupa? Where is Sanatan? Where is Raghunath Das? Where
are these saviours of the fallen?
kaha mora bhatta-yuga kaha kaviraja
eka-kale kotha gela gora nata-raja [3]
Where are my two Bhattas (Raghunath Bhatta and Gopal Bhatta)? Where is
Ramachandra Kaviraj? Where has all of a sudden the great dancer Si Gauranga
gone?
pasane kutiba matha anale pasiba
gauranga gunera nidhi kotha gele paba
I will crush my head against a rock, I will enter into fire – where am I to
go to find Gaurāṅga, an ocean of all good qualities?!
se saba sangira sange ye kaila vilasa
se sanga na pana kande narottama dasa [5]
Narottam used to play happily in the company of all those associates, but now
he is weeping, not getting their association.
