Jauvane Jakhona Dhana Uparjane
Bhajan | Bhaktivinoda Thakura
Verse 1
jauvane jakhona, dhana-upārjane,
hoinu vipula kāmī
dharama smariyā, gṛhinīra kara,
dhorinu takhona āmi
Verse 2
saṁsāra pātā’ye, tāhāra sahita,
kāla-khoy koinu koto
bahu suta-sutā, janama lobhilo,
marame hoinu hato
Verse 3
saṁsārera bhāra, bāḍe dine dine,
acala hoilo gati
bārdhakya āsiyā, gherilo āmāre,
asthira hoilo mati
Verse 4
pīḍāya asthira, cintāya jwarita,
abhāve jwalita cita
upāya nā dekhi, andhakāra-moya,
ekhona ho’yechi bhīta
Verse 5
saṁsāra-taṭanī- srota nahe śeṣa,
maraṇa nikaṭe ghora
saba samāpiyā, bhojibo tomāya,
e āśā biphala mora
Verse 6
ebe śuno prabhu! āmi gati-hīna,
bhakativinoda koya
tava kṛpā binā, sakali nirāśā,
deho’ more padāśroya
Verse 1
When I was young I became greatly desirous of earning money. Remembering my religious duty, I took the hand of a wife.
Verse 2
I established a household with her and wasted so much time. We had many sons and daughters, and I became distressed at heart.
Verse 3
The burden of my household increased day by day, and my progress towards attaining the goal of life came to a standstill. As old age came and besieged me, my mind became disturbed.
Verse 4
Restless with disease and feverish with anxiety, my heart burns with unfulfilled desire. I see no way out of this darkness and have now become fearful.
Verse 5
There is no end to the torrent of the river of household life, and fearsome death always looms nearby. “After finishing all of this, I will serve You”—this hope of mine has proven vain.
Verse 6
Now please listen, O Lord! I am utterly helpless. Bhakti Vinod prays, “Without Your mercy, everything is hopeless. Please give me the shelter of Your feet.”
