gurudev!
kabe tava karuna-prakase
sri-gauranga-lila,  hoya nitya-tattwa,
ei drdha visvase
`hari hari’ boli’,  godruma-kanane,
bhromibo darsana-ase

nitai, gauranga,  adwaita, srivasa,
gadadhara,—pasca-jana
krsna-nama-rase,  bhasa’be jagat,
kori’ maha-sankirtana
 
(3)
nartana-vilasa,  mrdanga-vadana,
sunibo apana-kane
dekhiya dekhiya,  se lila-madhuri,
bhasibo premera bane
 
(4)
na dekhi’ abara,  se lila-ratana,
kandi ha gauranga! boli’
amare visayi,  pagala boliya,
angete dibeka dhuli
 
 
(1) Gurudeva! Lord Gauranga’s transcendental pastimes are eternal realities. I await the day when, with this firm faith manifested by your mercy, I will wander through the groves of Godruma, chanting “Hari! Hari!” and hoping to behold those pastimes.
 
(2) The Panca-tattva — Nitai, Gauranga, Advaita, sSrivasa and Gadadhara — will flood the entire universe with the intoxiacting nectar of the holy name of Sri Krsna by performing a maha-sankirtana.
 
(3) In my ears I will hear the sounds of dancing and the playing of the mrdangas. By constantly beholding the sweetness and beauty of that pastime of Lord Gauranga’s, I will swim in the flood tide of divine love.
 
(4) Materialists will throw dirt at my body and proclaim me thoroughly mad. For being again bereft of seeing the jewel of that pastime, I shall weep and cry out, “O my Lord Gauranga!”
