Gora Pahu Na Bhajiya Mainu

gora pahu na bhajiya mainu
prema-ratana-dhana helaya harainu

Never worshiping Sri Gauracandra, I have neglected the most valuable treasure of divine love and have thus lost it.

adhane yatana kari' dhana teyaginu
apana karama-dose apani dubinu

Avoiding my real wealth I devoted myself to valuless trifles and drowning in my own misdeeds.

sat-sanga chadi' kainu asate vilasa
te-karane lagila je karama-bandha phasa

Abandoning the association of devotees I engaged myself in the temporary enjoyment with non-devotees, I am caught in the snare of my own karmic follies.

visaya visama visa satata kainu
gaura-kirtana-rase magana na hainu

I regularly drank the terrible poison of sense objects, rather than becoming immersed in the nectar of chanting the glories of Sri Gaurakisora.

kena va achaye prana ki sukha paiya
narottama dasa kena na gela mariya

Narottama dasa laments, "For which pleasure do I maintain my life? Why do I not simply die?"
