Biṣaya Bāsanā Rūpa Cittera Bikāra
Horrible material desires stay always in my heart.
How much did I struggle! The horrible desires would not go. I know at the end my life-breath will flee.
These grotesque, horrible desires make me unsteady. I cannot find peace. I am agitated at heart.
When will Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī be merciful, give me proper renunciation, and deliver me?
When will Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī give me the power to renounce sense pleasures? When will he mercifully place me before Lord Nityānanda?
When will Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī, pouring the water of truth, extinguish the flames of material logic that burn in my heart?
When will the hairs of my body stand erect as I hear Lord Caitanya's holy name? When, drinking the nectar of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, will I become free of all lamenting?
This penniless, sinful beggar, the most wretched of all beggars, begs for shelter at the Vaiṣṇavas' feet.
