Gurudeva Kabe Mora Sei
Bhajana Lalasa Song 12
gurudev! kabe
mora sei din ha'be mana
sthira kori', nirjane bosiyā, kṛṣṇa-nāma
gā'bo jabe saṁsāra-phukāra, kāne nā poṣibe, deho-roga
dūre ro'be
Gurudeva! O spiritual master! When, with a steady mind in a secluded place, will I sing the name of Sri Krsna? When will the pandemonium of worldly existence no longer echo in my ears and the diseases of the body remain far away? When will that day be mine?
`hare
kṛṣṇa' boli', gāhite gāhite, nayane
bohibe lora dehete
pulaka, udita hoibe, premete
koribe bhora
When I chant "Hare Krsna", tears of love will flow from my eyes and ecstatic rapture will arise within my body, causing my hair to stand on end and my body to become overwhelmed with divine love.
gada-gada
vānī, mukhe bāhiribe, kāṅpibe
śarīra mama gharma
muhur muhuḥ, virvarna hoibe, stambhita
pralaya sama
Faltering words choked with emotion will issue from my mouth. My body will tremble, constantly perspire, turn pale and discolored, and become stunned. All of this will be like a devastation of ecstatic love and cause me to fall unconscious.
niṣkapaṭe
heno, daśā kabe ha'be, nirantara
nāma gā'bo āveśe
rohiyā, deha-yātrā kori', tomāra
karunā pā'bo
When will such a genuine ecstatic condition be mine? I will constantly sing the holy name and remain absorbed in profound devotion while maintaining the material body. In this way I will obtain your mercy.
