bhaja govinda bhaja govinda bhaja govinda kā nāma re
govinda ke nāma bina tere koī nā āve kāma re
yeh jīvana sukha duḥkha kā melā duniyā sārī svapanon kā khelā
jānā tujhko pāde akela bhaja re hari kā nāma re
govinda kī mahimā gāve prema kī usapar āga lagāke
jīvana apanā saphala banāe cala īśvara kī dhama re
TRANSLATION:

2) In this world with the fair of happiness and distress, many desires are just a play of dreams. I want to go to alone to Your feet! Worship the name of Lord Hari! Oh!
3) By singing the glories of Lord Govinda, the heart will be aflame with love. Life will become of use. Let’s go to the divine abode of the Lord!
