SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : SARANAGATI GITI
gora pahu na bhajiya mainu
prema ratana-dhana helaya harainu [1]
I did not worship Gora’s feet, I did not care for the jewel treasure of
divine love! I have lost my chance!
adhane yatana kari dhana teyaginu
apana karama dose apani dubinu [2]
Although I am poor, I fervently reject treasure. It is all my fault. I have
consciously drowned myself.
sat-sanga chhadi kainu asate vilasa
te-karane lagila ye karma-bandha-phasa [3]
I rejected good association and have been enjoying material life, consciously
throwing a noose of material bondage on my neck.
visaya-visama-visa satata khainu
gaura-kirtana rase magana na hainu [4]
I have always been taking the deathly poison of the material life and never
felt attached to the ecstasy of Gaura’s kirtan.
kena va achhaye prana ki sukha lagiya
narottama-dasa kena na gela mariya [5]
Why am I still alive? What joy is there in this life? Oh, why did Narottam
Das not just die?…
