Hari Hari Ar Kabe Palatibe Dasa
Sadhaka Dehocita Sri Vrndavana Basa Lalasa Song 2
hari hari! āra kobe pālaṭibe daśā? e sab koriyā vāme,
yābo vṛndāvana dhāme, ei mone koriyāchi āśā
When will I renounce all material impediments and go to Vrndavana-dhama? O Lord Hari, Lord Hari, when will my life change in this way? I hope I will be able to change my mode of living in this way.
dhana jana putra dāre, ei sab koriyā dūre,
ekānta hoiyā kobe yābo sab duḥka parihari,
vṛndāvane vāsa kori, mādhukarī māgiyā khāibo
When will I leave all my wealth, followers, children, and wife far behind and with only one desire, go to Vrndavana? When will I leave all material miseries, and live in Vrndavana, eating only whatever food I can obtain by begging?
yamunāra jala yeno, amṛta samāna heno,
kobe pibo udara pūriyā kobe rādhākuṇḍa jale,
snāna kori kutūholi, śyāmakuṇḍa rahibo poḍiyā
When will I take long drinks of the Yamuna's water, which is as sweet as nectar? When, with great happiness, will I bathe at Radha-kunda? When will I permanently reside at Syama-kunda?
bhramibo dvādaśa vane, rasa keli ye ye sthāne,
premāveśe gaḍāgaḍi diyā sudhāibo jane jane,
vrajavāsigaṇa sthāne nivedibo caraṇe dhariyā
When will I wander in the twelve forests of Vrndavana, where Lord Krsna enjoyed nectar pastimes, and when, overwhelmed with ecstastic love, will I roll about in the dust of these places? When will I become pure in heart? When will I offer obeisances to all the residents of Vraja, reverently touching their lotus feet?
bhojanera sthāna kobe, nayana gocara hobe,
āra yoto āche upavana tāra madhye vṛndāvana,
narottama dāsera mana, āśā kore yugala caraṇa
When will I be able to see the gardens of Vrndavana where the great devotees worshipped the Lord? Narottama dasa hopes to one day attain the lotus feet of the Divine Couple.
