ageyāna-dhwānta duranta nimagana akhila loka nehāri kona bihi nabadwīpa de-ola ujora dīpaka jāri

Seeing that all the worlds were plunged into the unbearable darkness of ignorance, He placed a glistening lamp in Navadvīpa.

2 Refrain

saba diga daraśana bhela kiraṇe jhalamala bahira antare timira saba dūre gela

Translation

Now all the directions are clearly seen. The glistening light shines within and without. All the darkness has fled far away.

3

ku-patha parihari sādhu-pantha pathika paricaya ranṅa nāma-hemaka dāma pahirala prema-maṇikhāni saṅga

Translation

Now everyone has left the bad path. Now everyone happily walks on the path of the saints. Everyone wears a golden necklace of the Lord's holy names, a necklace where the jewels are the ecstasies of spiritual love.

4

dulaha sampade dīna duragata jagata bhari paripūra janama āndhala ekali rahu hāsa jagata bāhira dūra

Translation

Now the poor misguided people are rich with that great spiritual treasure. The whole world is filled with that treasure. Only one lonely person, a person blind from birth, is shut out from that world of treasure.
