Viraha-giti
ye anila prema-dhana karuna prachura
hena prabhu kotha gela acharya thakura [1]
Where has Acharya Srinivas (alternatively, Advaita Acharya), the Lord who 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 Svarup, Rupa, and Sanatan? Where is my Raghunath Das? Where are
the saviours of the fallen souls?
kaha mora bhatta-yuga kaha kaviraja
eka-kale kotha gela gora nata-raja [3]
Where are my Raghunath Bhatta and Gopal Bhatta? Where is my Ramachandra Kaviraj
(alternatively, Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami)? Where has the great dancer Sri Gauranga
suddenly gone?
pasane kutiba matha anale pasiba
gauranga gunera nidhi kotha gele paba
I will break my head on a rock, I will enter into fire—where shall I go
to reach the reservoir of all qualities, Sri Gauranga?
se saba sangira sange ye kaila vilasa
se sanga na pana kande narottama dasa [5]
Not finding the association of Sri Gauranga, who performed His Pastimes with
all these associates, Narottam Das weeps.
