Ar Keno Maya Jale

Sreyo-Nirnaya Song 2

1

ār
keno māyā-jāle poḍitecho, jīva-mīn nāhi
jāno baddha ho'ye ro'be tumi ciro-din

O fish like soul, why have you fallen into the entangling nets of Maya? You have not understood that being bound up by those nets you will have to remain in this material world for a long, long time.

2

ati
tuccha bhoga-āśe, bandī ho'ye māyā-pāśe rohile
vikṛta-bhāve daṇḍya jathā parādhīn

After becoming captive in Maya's snare due to your desires for insignificant enjoyments, you remain transformed in a spiritually diseased condition, punishable just like a disobedient servant.

3

ekhona
bhakati-bale, kṛṣṇa-prema-sindhu-jale krīḍā
kori' anāyāse thāko tumi kṛṣṇaādhīna

Now, by the power of devotional service, always remain subservient to Lord Krsna, swimming and frolicking freely in the nectarine ocean of Krsna-prema.
