(1)
gurudev!
boḍo kṛpā kori’, gauḍa-vana mājhe,
godrume diyācho sthāna
ājshā dila more, ei braje bosi’,
hari-nāma koro gāna

(2)
kintu kabe prabhu, yogyatā arpibe,
e dāsere doyā kori’
citta sthira habe, sakala sohibo,
ekānte bhajibo hari

(3)
śaiśava-yauvane, jaḍa-sukha-sańge,
abhyāsa hoilo manda
nija-karma-doṣe, e deho hoilo,
bhajanera pratibandha

(4)
vārdhakye ekhona, pashca-roge hata,
kemone bhojibo bolo’
kāńdiyā kāńdiyā, tomāra caraṇe,
poḍiyāchi suvihvala

Translation:

(1) Gurudeva! Because you are so merciful, you gave me a place in Godruma amid the woodlands of
Gauda, with this order to fulfill: “Dwell here in this Vrndavana and sing the holy name of Hari.”

(2) But when, O master, out of your great mercy, will you bestow upon this servant of yours the
spiritual competence to fulfill that order? When will my mind become tranquil and fixed? When will I
endure all hardships and serve Lord Hari without distractions?

(3) Due to attachment to worldly pleasures in childhood and youth, I have developed bad habits. Because
of these sinful acts my body has become an impediment to the service of the Supreme Lord.

(4) Now, in old age, afflicted by the five-fold illnesses, how will I serve the Lord? O master, please tell me.
I have fallen at your feet weeping, overwhelmed by anxiety.

 TRANSLATION

1) Oh sakhi! My dear girlfriend! What have I seen today? In a kadamba grove on the banks of the Yamuna, a beautiful blackish boy holding a long flute (vamsi) is seated upon a throne of jewels, performing His pastimes as the King of all transcendental mellows!

2) Situated upon the eight petals of the jeweled altar is Sri Radha and Sri Hari surrounded by Their attendants the eight chief gopis. There Krsna performs His amorous pastimes which are just like a waterfall of nectar.

3) By singing sweet songs and by dancing nicely, all the gopis satisfy the treasured Divine Couple. Thus I am beholding Krsna's pastimes with His beautiful female consorts expanding throughout the splendorous forest.

4) For the sake of the mellows of such pastimes, I will not go to my home, but I will instead enter into the forest. Renouncing all shyness due to fear of family members, just worship the Lord of Vraja. This is the humble submission of Bhaktivinoda.
