(1)
gaura pahu na bhajiya goinu
prema-ratana-dhana helaya harainu

(2)
adhane yatana kari dhana teyaginu
apana karama-dose apani dubinu

(3)
sat-sanga chadi' kainu asate vilasa
te-karane lagilo ye karma-bandha-phansa

(4)
visaya-visama-visa satata khainu
gaura-kirtana-rase magana na hainu

(5)
keno va achaye prana ki sukha paiya
narottam das keno na gelo mariya

TRANSLATION

1) I did not worship Lord Gauranga Prabhu and thus I became full of suffering. I refused to accept the treasure of pure love of Krsna, and thus I became lost.

2) I reject the treasure of love of Krsna and deliberately struggled to become poor. I dived into a host of sinful deeds.

3) I rejected the association of the saintly devotees, and instead tried to enjoy among the impious non-devotees. In this way I became caught in the noose of karma.

4) I continually drank the virulent poison of sense-gratification. I refused to swim in the nectar of Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement.

5) Why do I stay alive? What happiness do I have? Why did Narottama dasa not die long ago?
