Original lyrics · Bengali transliteration
1) śrī-rūpa-mañjarī-pada, sei mora sampada, sei mor bhajana-pūjana sei mora prāṇa-dhana, sei mora ābharaṇa, sei mor jīvanera jīvana
2) sei mora rasa-nidhi, sei mora vāñchā-siddhi, sei mor vedera dharama sei brata, sei tapa, sei mora mantra-japa, sei mor dharama-karama
3) anukūla habe vidhi, se-pade hoibe siddhi, nirakhibo e dui nayane se rūpa-mādhurī-rāśi, prāṇa-kuvalaya-śaśi, praphullita habe niśi-dine
4) tuwā adarśana-ahi, garale jāralo dehī, ciro-dina tāpita jīvana hā hā rūpa koro doyā, deho more pada-chāyā, narottama loilo śaraṇa
English rendition
1) Rūpa Mañjarī’s lotus feet are the only treasure for me. They are my song and meditation. Enriching my essence, my core, they make my existence adorned. They are my life and inspiration.
2) They’re like seas of spiritual moods. They grant any wish I may choose. They are the essence of the Vedas. They are all that truly endows my mantras, restrictions, and vows. They are my dharma’s only basis.
3) Everything auspicious I do they perfect and make absolute. Only they open up my eyes. Moonbeams of pure love they impart on the lotus bud of my heart, making it bloom through my days and nights.
4) Missing you is like a snake bite ravaging my body and life, burning me with fever everywhere. Rūpa Mañjarī, please bless me with the shade of your lotus feet. Narottama das takes shelter there.
