Verse 1

pūrbe ye-i gopīnātha śrīmatī rādhikā sātha

kaṭi-taṭe e ḍora kaupīna

Verse 2

adhare muralī pūri braja-badhūra mana curi

kari sukha bāḍaye tāhāra

nayana-kaṭākṣa-bāṅe marame paśiyā hāne

se māraṅe bahe aśru-dhāra

Verse 3

yamunāra bane bane go-dhana rākhāla sane

naṭa-beśa bijayī bākhāne

nāhi jāni se-i ebe ki jāni kāhāra bhābe

bilāsaye saṅkīrtana sthāne

Verse 4

bhābite se saba sukha dvi-guṅa bāḍaye dukha

biraha anale jari jari

e śibānandera hiyā gaḍila pāṣāṅa diyā

nāda-rabe se sukha sobhari

Translation

Verse 1

He who was formerly Rādhā's companion and the gopīs' master, has now become a joyful poor mendicant. He who formerly played a flute in His hand now holds a daṅḍa and kamaṅḍalu. At His waist a kaupīna is tied.

Verse 2

He who formerly filled the flute at His lips, stole the gopīs' hearts, enjoyed many blissful pastimes, and fired many arrows of sidelong glances at the gopīs' hearts, now sheds flooding rivers of tears from His eyes.

Verse 3

He who fromerly, dressed like a dancing-actor, walked from forest to forest by the Yamunā as He herded the cows, is now overcome with ecstasy. Enjoying pastimes of saṅkīrtana, He knows nothing but ecstasy.

Verse 4

In the ecstasy of meeting He is filled with bliss. In the agony of separation His sufferings are doubled. Then He burns in flames of suffering. His chanting of the holy names fills with bliss even Śivānanda's heart, a heart built of stone.
