(1)
gurudev!
kabe mora sei din ha'be
mana sthira kori', nirjane bosiyä,
kåñëa-näma gä'bo jabe
saàsära-phukära, käne nä poñibe,
deho-roga düre ro'be
1) O Gurudeva! When will that day be mine? With a steady mind, sitting in a
secluded place, I will sing the name of Çré Kåñëa. The tumultuous pandemonium of
worldly existence will no longer echo in my ears, and the diseases of the body will
remain far away.
(2)
'hare kåñëa' boli', gähite gähite,
nayane bohibe lora
dehete pulaka, udita hoibe,
premete koribe bhora
2) When I chant "Hare Kåñëa" tears of love will flow and flow from my eyes. Ecstatic
rapture will arise within my body, causing my hair to stand on end and my entire
being to become overwhelmed with divine love.

(3)
gada-gada väné, mukhe bähiribe,
käìpibe çaréra mama
gharma muhur muhuù, virvarna hoibe,
stambhita pralaya sama
3) Faltering words choked with emotion will issue from my mouth. My body will
tremble, constantly perspire, turn pale and discolored, and become stunned. All of
this will be like a devastation of ecstatic love and cause me to fall unconscious.*

nirantara näma gä'bo
äveçe rohiyä, deha-yäträ kori',
