1) je ānilo prema-dhana koruṇā pracur heno prabhu kothā gelā ācārya-ṭhākur
2) kāhā mora swarūp rūpa kāhā sanātan kāhā dāsa raghunātha patita-pāvan
3) kāhā mora bhaṭṭa-juga kāhā kavirāj eka-kāle kothā gelā gorā naṭa-rāj
4) pāṣāṇe kuṭibo māthā anale paśibo gaurāṅga guṇera nidhi kothā gele pābo
5) se-saba saṅgīra saṅge je koilo bilās se-saṅga nā pāiyā kānde narottama dās
English rendition
1) The kind soul who brought the treasure of pure Krishna prem– is Śrīnivās Ācārya? Has he gone away?
2) My Svarūp and Raghunātha, Rūpa, Sanātan— where have all these saviors of the fallen jīvas gone?
3) Raghunātha and Gopāl Bhaṭṭa, Dāsa Kavirāja— have they all abruptly left with Gaura Natarāja?
4) I’ll pound my head on a boulder or walk into fire. Where is Lord Gaurāṅga and the virtues I admire?
5) Gaurāṅga and His companions have all disappeared. Narottama dās yearns for them, his eyes raining tears.
