nācata re nitā-i bara cānda siñca-i prema- sudhā-rasa jaga-jane adabhuta naṭana su-chānda
Translation

Splashing the people of this world with the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love, Lord Nitāicandra, the wonderful graceful dancer, dances.

pada-tala-tāla khalita maṇi-mañjira calatahi ṭalamala aṅga meru-śikhare kiye tanu anu pāmare jhalamala bhāba-taraṅga
Translation

Following the rhythm of His dancing feet, His jewel anklets jingle. With graceful restless motions His body moves as He dances. How has His body become like Mount Meru’s summit effulgent in waves of ecstatic spiritual love?

royata hāsata calata gati manthara hari bali mūrachi bibhora khene khene gaura gaura bali dhāba-i ānande garajata ghora
Translation

He weeps. He laughs. He slowly walks. Calling out, “Hari!”, He is overcome. Moment after moment He chants, “Gaura! Gaura!” He runs. Joyfully He roars.

pāmara paṅgu adhama jaḍa ātura dīna abadhi nāhi māna abirata durlabha prema ratana dhana yāci jagate karu dāna
Translation

Without stop He begs the whole world to accept His gift of the rare jewel of ecstatic spiritual love. He offers it to every person. In His heart He does not think, “That person is sinner. That person is lame. That person is the lowest. That person is dull. That person is sick. That person is poor.”

ayācita-rūpe prema-dhana bitaraṇe nikhila tāpa dūre gela dīna-hīna sabahuṁ manaratha pūrala abalā unamata bhela
Translation

Even without being asked, He gives away the treasure of ecstatic spiritual love. With that gift He makes all sufferings flee far away. He fulfills the poor wretched people’s every desire. He makes the weak and powerless filled with the ecstasy of spiritual love.

aichana karuṇā- nayana abalokane kāhu nā rahe duradina balarāma dāsa kahe bhela bañcita dāruṇa hṛdaya kaṭhina
Translation

Who, attaining Lord Nitāi’s merciful glance, can remain unfortunate? Balarāma dāsa says: Alas! I was cheated of Lord Nitāi’s merciful glance. That is why my heart is so cruel and hard.
