Mari Ya I Emana Nita I Kena Na Bhajila
Bhajan | Traditional
Verse 1
mari yā-i emana nitā-i kena nā bhajila
hari hari dhik āre ki buddhi lāgila more
hate nidhi pā-iyā hārā-ila
Verse 2
emana dayāra sindhu patita janāra bandhu
tri-bhubane āra dekhi nā-i
abadhūta-beśe phiri jībe dila nāma hari
hāse nāce kānde āre bhā-i
Verse 3
nitā-ira pratāpa heri yama kāmpe tharahari
pāche tāra adhikāra yāya
pāpī tāpī yata chila nitā-i saba nistārila
eḍā-ila śamanera dāya
Verse 4
hare kṛṣṇa hari-nāma bale nitā-i abiśrāma
bhaye śamana dūre palā-ila
mohana madete andha biṣaye rahila bandha
nitā-i bhajite nā pā-ila
Verse 1
Alas! Alas! Why did I not worship Lord Nitāi? Alas! Alas! Alas! What was I thinking? I had a precious treasure in my hand, and I threw it away.
Verse 2
He is an ocean of mercy. He is the friend of the fallen. In the three worlds I never saw anyone like Him. In the garments of an avadhūta He wanders. He gives Lord Hari’s holy name to the souls in this world. O my brothers, He laughs, dances, and weeps.
Verse 3
Seeing Lord NItai’s power, Yamaraja trembles in fear. All powers follow Lord Nitāi. Lord Nitāi delivers the troubled sinners. Now they are shunned by Yamarāja’s punishments.
Verse 4
Without stop Lord NItāi chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. Now frightened Yamarāja flees far away. Blinded by a host of illusions, Mohana dāsa ramains shackled to materialism. Alas! He did not worship Lord Nitāi.
