Lut Lo Jisaka Dil Cahe

1

(introductory
stanza) re manavā; lūṭ
tu le kṛṣṇa nāma pyār se (refrain) lūṭ lo jisakā
dil cāhe maiṅ śor macāūṅ galī galī kṛṣṇa nāma
ke; hari nāma ke; rāma nāma ke hīre motī maiṅ
bikharāūṅ galī galī

Introductory verse: Oh my mind! Please lovingly take Krsna's name! Refrain: I shall shout to every town and village, "Whoever's heart wants this, take the diamond and pearls of Krsna's name, Hari's name, and Rama's name that I'm scattering about at every town and village!"

2

daulat ke dīvāne
sun lo! ek din aise āyegā dhana yauvana aur rūpa
khazānā; yahīṅ dharā reh jāyegā (terī) sundara kāyā
miṭṭī hogī; caracā hogī galī galī

To the crazy persons obsessed with wealth, listen! Such a day will arise, where your wealth, youth, treasure, and form will remain back on earth, when you go. Your beautiful body will become dirt and chattering about this will happen in every town and village!

3

mitra pyāre sage
sambandhī; ek din tujhe bhūla jāyeṅge kal tak apanā jo kahate
the; agni pe tujhe sulāeṅge jagata sadā do din kā
hai; āḳhir hogī calī calī

Friends, beloved people, close family and relatives will one day forget about you. Everyone that you have considered your own will have you sleep on a funeral pyre (upon death). Life on earth is very short. Then after that, you will be gone from this planet!

4

jinako apanā kahakar bande;
tu itnā itarātā hai choḍ deṅge sabhī
vipat meṅ; koī sāth nahīṅ jātā hai do din kā yeh caman khilā
hai; phir murjhāe kalī kalī

O mankind, everyone you call your own that you proudly boast about will leave you at the time of adversity. No one shall accompany you. The flowers in the garden blossom for a short time. Then, all of those flowers will wither away!

5

kyūṅ karatā
hai 'merī merī'? taj de is abhimān ko jhūṭe dhandhe
choḍ ke bande; japa le kṛṣṇa ke nāma ko yeh samaya aur phir nā
milegā; pacatāe mana kal hī kal hī

Why do you say "mine! mine?" Give up this false pride! Give up your false business, Oh mankind, and chant Krsna's holy name! You will not receive this time once again. Your mind will repent tomorrow!

6

jis-jis ne yeh motī lūte;
(re manavā lūṭ tu le) voh to mālāmāl hue duniyā ke jo bane pūjārī;
āḳhir voh kaṅgāl hue sone cāndī motī
valoṅ; maiṅ samjhāūṅ galī galī

Whoever takes this pearl from me (Oh my mind! Please take these!), they will become rich beyond measure! Those who became worshippers of materialism of the world will ultimately become paupers! To those who are still obsessed with gold, silver, and pearls, I will try to explain it to you in each town and village.

Notes

This bhajan was popularized by Vamsidhari Surya prabhu in his live concert album "Krsna Jinaka Nama Hai", as well as Sacidevi mataji in her album "Nama Hari Ka Jap Le Bande." Both renditions were in Raga Misra Bhairavi in Kaherva Tala.
