Translation

Verse 1

I did not worship Lord Gaura. The precious jewel of ecstatic spiritual love I carelessly threw away.

Verse 2

I renounced that spiritual wealth. I struggled to become a spiritual pauper. Now I am plunged into a misfortune I created by my own actions.

Verse 3

I always drink the horrible deadly poison of material sense gratification. I will not dive into the nectar of chanting Lord Gaura's glories.

Verse 4

I spurn the association of saintly devotees. I sport with evil persons. That is why I am now bound by the ropes of karma and the noose of karma is now slipped around my neck.

Verse 5

My heart does not weep when it hears Lord Gaura's glories. This rare human birth has been useless to me.

Verse 6

Why do I continue to live? What happiness will I find in this kind of life? Why does this Vallabha dāsa not die.
