Translation

Verse 1

Horrible material desires stay always in my heart.

Verse 2

How much did I struggle! The horrible desires would not go. I know at the end my life-breath will flee.

Verse 3

These grotesque, horrible desires make me unsteady. I cannot find peace. I am agitated at heart.

Verse 4

When will Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī be merciful, give me proper renunciation, and deliver me?

Verse 5

When will Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī give me the power to renounce sense pleasures? When will he mercifully place me before Lord Nityānanda?

Verse 6

When will Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī, pouring the water of truth, extinguish the flames of material logic that burn in my heart?

Verse 7

When will the hairs of my body stand erect as I hear Lord Caitanya's holy name? When, drinking the nectar of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, will I become free of all lamenting?

Verse 8

This penniless, sinful beggar, the most wretched of all beggars, begs for shelter at the Vaiṣṇavas' feet.
