Ki Ksene Gora Navina

1

ki ksene gora navina kamera konra
sei ha'te raite nari ghare kata
na kariba chala kata na bhariba
jala kata jaba suradhuni tire

From the moment I saw Lord Gaura, the ever new abode of desire; I have been able to remain at home no longer. How many tricks will I use to get away? How much water can I draw from Suradhuni? How often can I go to the river bank?

2

vidhi to binu balite keha nai jata guru garabite
ganjana vacana kata phukari kandite nahi thani

There is no one to whom I can speak other than Providence. As much as my proud guardians scold me, there is no place that I can cry out my heartfelt pain.

3

aruna nayana kone caiya chila
ama pane parana barasi diya tane
kulera dharama mora chare khare
jauk go na jani ki habe pariname

When Gauranga looked at me, He snagged my heart with the hook of His reddish glance. Let my family obligations go to hell! Who knows what the end result of all this will be?

4

apana apani khailun gharera bahira
hainu suni khola karatala nada
laksmikanta dasa kaya marame jara
lagaya ki karibe kula parivada

I have brought all of this upon myself, for I was drawn outside when I heard the mrdanga and the karatalas ' sound. Laksmikanta dasa says: '' Can a family scandal scare those who have fathomed Gauranga's sweetness? ''
