Translation

Verse 1

O friends, please hear my words. When I am agitated with ecstatic love, the thief of my heart shows Himself to me.

Verse 2

Suddenly my eyes see Him no longer. I yearn to see Him. I weep. I cannot keep this life of suffering.

Verse 3

prāṇa- nātha - the master of life. Will He who is the friend of the whole world ever accept me as one of His companions? He may do what He likes to me. He is always the master of my life.

Verse 4

prāṇa- dhana - the treasure of my life. Allowing me to see Him, He brings bliss to my life. Then He speaks words of love. Then, becoming invisible again, He sets my heart on fire. In this way He who is the treasure of my life kills me.

Verse 5

His happiness is my happiness. To me my own happiness and suffering are both the same.

Verse 6

In meeting or in separation, Bhaktivinoda knows Kṛṣṇa is the master of his life. Kṛṣṇa's happiness is his happiness. Kṛṣṇa is the master of his life. There will never be anyone else.
