(Refrain) kṛṣṇa taba puṇya habe bhāi e-puṇya koribe jabe rādhārāṇī khusī habe dhruva ati boli tomā tāi
1) śrī-siddhānta saraswatī, śacī-suta priya ati, kṛṣṇa-sebāya jāra tula nāi sei se mohānta-guru, jagater madhe uru, kṛṣṇa-bhakti dey ṭhāi ṭhāi
2) tāra icchā balavān, pāścātyete ṭhān ṭhān, hoy jāte gaurāṅger nām pṛthivīte nagarādi, āsamudra nada nadī, sakalei loy kṛṣṇa nām
3) tāhale ānanda hoy, tabe hoy dig-vijay, caitanyer kṛpā atiśay māyā duṣṭa jata duḥkhī, jagate sabāi sukhī, vaiṣṇaver icchā pūrṇa hoy
4) se kārja je koribāre, ājñā jadi dilo more, jogya nahi ati dīna hīna tāi se tomāra kṛpā, māgitechi anurūpā, āji tumi sabār pravīṇa
5) tomāra se śakti pele, guru-sebāya bastu mile, jībana sārthak jadi hoy sei se sebā pāile, tāhale sukhī hale, taba saṅga bhāgyate miloy
6) tumi mor cira sāthī, bhuliyā māyār lāthi, khāiyāchi janma-janmāntare āji punaḥ e sujoga, jadi hoy jogājoga, tube pāri tuhe milibāre
7) tomāra milane bhāi, ābār se sukha pāi, gocārane ghuri din bhor kata bane chuṭāchuṭi, bane khāi luṭāpuṭi, sei din kabe babe mor
8) āji se subidhāne, tomāra smaraṇa bhela, baro āśā ḍākilām tāi āmi tomāra nitya-dāsa, tāi kori eta āśa, tumi binā anya gati nāi
(Brahmā Samhita meter) (S.B. 7.9.28) evaṁ janaṁ nipatitaṁ prabhavāhi-kūpe kāmābhikāmam anu yaḥ prapatan prasaṅgāt kṛtvātmasāt surarṣiṇā bhagavan gṛhītaḥ so’haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām
English rendition
(Refrain) Brothers, how I wish you all the best. Krishna, God, fills all our needs when we make Rādhārāṇī pleased. Worship Rādhā Krishna and be blessed.
1) Śrī Siddhānta Sarasvatī, unmatched in his offerings of service to Lord Krishna and Lord Gaura, as a guru of renown, bestows devotion rarely found in this world, any place that he may go.
2) By his robust aspiration, all throughout the Western nations, Lord Gaurāṅga’s name will soon be found. In each city, town and hamlet, every ocean, lake, and inlet, Krishna’s holy names will soon resound.
3) As Caitanya’s vast compassion overwhelms the four directions, surely ecstasy will flood all sides. When the wretched, fallen souls discover bliss in bhakti-yoga, great Vaiṣṇavas shall be satisfied.
4) Though my Guru ordered me to fill this sacred prophecy, I am fallen and my strengths are few. Thus, O Lord, I beg You, please, to somehow now empower me, for no one is as wise and skilled as You.
5) When You let a soul fulfill the guru’s transcendental will, such a person lives life well each day. One who gains such sacred service joyfully discards disturbance. Linked with You, good fortune comes his way.
6) Though You’re always by my side, I have ignored You, life by life. Māyā kicks me hard, to my chagrin. If today there is occasion to have Your association, surely I will join You once again.
7) I will join You, my dear Friend, in joyful frolic once again mornings in the pastures, on and on. There on Vraja’s forest grounds, consumed with bliss, I’ll roll around. When, oh when will that day finally dawn?
8) Just this morning I remembered You and I at play together. Longing for that time, I called to You. Your eternal servant seeks Your service and Your company, for You alone empower all I do.
(Brahmā Saṁhita meter) In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Prahlād says to Lord Nṛsiṁha, “I fell into a well of snakes meant for common sinners. My guru taught me human life has a higher purpose. I’m so obliged to him. How could I give up his service?”
