LYRICS: 
yadi prabhupada na hoito tabe ki hoito
(e) jivana bahita kise?
nitai-gaurera apara karuna ke dita sakala dese

If Srila Prabhupada had not come, what would have happened? How could we have passed our lives? Who else would have distributed the unlimited mercy of Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga all over the world?

(2)
pascatyera yata papi duracari sunyavadi mayavadi 
tadera uddara karibare mana hena kon dayanidhi 

Which other compassionate person would have endeavored to deliver the miscreants , sinful, impersonalistic and voidistic people in the West?

(3)
tadera nikate kon jana asi bilaita harinam
sabhya jiva rupe gadite tadera ke haita aguyan

Who else would have come to distribute Harinama to them? Who else would have come forward to transform them into civilized beings?

(4)
dese dese hari-vigraha seva arati ratri-dine
ratha yatradi mahotsava saba sikaita kon jane

Who else would have taught them how to worship the Deity form of Lord Hari day and night with arati-kirtana, and how to conduct the Ratha-yatra and other grand festivals?

(5)
gita-bhagavata caitanya carita premamrta rasasara 
kata na sundara sarala kariya ke bujhaita ara

Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam and Caitanya-caritamrta contain the essence of the nectarean mellows of love of Godhead. Who else would have explained these scriptures so clearly and beautifully?

(6)
kata kasta sahi prita mane rahi ke va dita harinam
ke dita modera puri vrndavana mayapura mata dham

Who else would have tolerated all difficulties, and distributed Harinama with a pleasant heart? Who would have given us the dhamas such as Mayapur, Vrindavan and Jagannatha Puri?

(7)
parama mangala sricaitanya maha-prabhura siksa dhana
acare pracare sada amadere ke karita niyojana

The teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu constitute the greatest and most auspicious treasure. Who else would have engaged us in constantly practicing and preaching it?

(8)
premakalpataru nitai-gaurera krpa kana labhibare
niravadhi jaya- pataka hrdaya tomare sarana kare

Sri Sri Nitai Gaura are desire trees of love of Godhead. Desiring a drop of Their mercy, Jayapataka's heart incessantly takes shelter of Your Divine Grace.
