1) gaurāṅgera duṭi pada, jār dhana sampada, se jāne bhakati-rasa-sār gaurāṅgera madhura-līlā, jār karṇe praveśilā, hṛdoya bhelo tār
2) je gaurāṅgera nāma loy, tāra hoy premodoy, tāre mui jāi bolihāri gaurāṅga-guṇete jhure, nitya-līlā tāre sphure, se jana bhakati-adhikārī
3) gaurāṅgera sańgi-gaṇe, nitya-siddha kori’ māne, se jāy brajendra-suta-pāś śrī-gauḍa-maṇḍala-bhūmi, jebā jāne cintāmaṇi, tār a hoy braja-bhūme bās
4) gaura-prema-rasārṇave, se tarańge jebā ḍube, se rādhā-mādhava-antaraṅga gṛhe bā vanete thāke, ‘hā gaurāṅga’ bo’le ḍāke, narottama māge tāra saṅga
English rendition
1) Lord Gaurāṅga’s lotus feet are one’s only treasury, when pure devotion is realized. Gaurāṅga’s sweet pastimes enter the ear of a lucky listener leaving the heart fully purified.
2) One who loudly chants, “Gaurāṅga,” rouses prema from its slumber. To such chanters, I say, “very good!” When Gaurāṅga’s endless pastimes make teardrops pour out of one’s eyes, pure bhakti is clearly understood.
3) Gaurāṅga’s associated devotees are liberated. Knowing this, one gains Lord Krishna’s grace. When one can see Navadvīp as made up of cintāmaṇi, Vraja dhām becomes one’s dwelling place.
4) When one loves to swim amidst Gaurāṅga’s oceanic bliss, Rādhā Mādhav bring that soul to Them. In the woods or at your home, if you chant, “Gaura, haribol!” , Narottama das wants you with him.
