mari yā-i emana nitā-i kena nā bhajinu hari hari dhik āre ki buddhi lāgila more hāte nidhi pāñā hārā-inu
Translation

It is better that I die. I did not worship Lord Nitāi. Alas! Alas! I am worthless! What was I thinking? I had a priceless treasure in my hand, and then I lost it.

kamala jiniyā āṅkhi śobhā kare mukha-śaśī sakaruṇa saba pāne cāya bāhu pāsariyā bale ā-isa jība kari kole prema-dhana sabāre bilāya
Translation

In the moon of His face glisten eyes that defeat lotus flowers, eyes that mercifully gaze at every living being. Spreading His arms, and calling out, "Please come!", He hugs the fallen souls. To everyone He gives the treasure of ecstatic spiritual love.

kāchani kaṭira beśa śobhiche cāñcara keśa baṇdhe cūḍā ati manohare nāṭuyā ṭhamake cale buja bāhi paḍe lore tribidha jībera tāpa hare
Translation

A garment is gracefully wrapped about his waist. His glistening hair is curly. He wears a graceful turban that charms the heart. He walks like a graceful dancer. Tears stream down His chest. He removes the three-fold sufferings the conditioned souls feel.

hari bala bola bale ḍāhine bāme aṅga dole rāma gaurī-dāsera galā dhari mukhe mākhā hāsya-cānda nitā-ira prema-phānda bhāba-sindhu uchala laharī
Translation

"Haribol!" He calls out. His body sways to the right and left. His arms rest on the shoulders of Rāmāi and Gaurīdāsa. The moon of a smile anoints His face. Lord Nitāi has set a trap of spiritual love. He is tossed to and fro by the rising waves of ecstatic love.

nitā-i karuṇā-sindhu patitera eka bandhu karuṇāya jagata ḍubila madana meadete andha biṣaye rahala bandha hena nitā-i bhajite nā pa-ila
Translation

Lord Nitāi is an ocean of mercy. He is the fallen soul's only friend. He has plunged the whole universe into the ocean of His mercy. Only persons blinded by lust, persons tightly bound by the ropes of material desires, will not worship Lord Nitāi.
