Haha Mora Ki Chāra Adṛṣṭa

Dhānaśī-rāga

Refrain
haha mora ki chāra adṛṣṭa yabe gaura prakaṭila āmāra janama naila teṁ-i muñi adhama papiṣṭha
Translation

Alas! Alas! What thing has fate brought me? It brought me something useless like a pile of ashes. When Lord Gaura manifested His pastimes I was not born. I am the lowest, the most sinful.

nā herinu gauracanda nā herinu nityānanda nā herinu adwaita gosāñi ṭhākura śrī-sarakāra nā herinu pada tāra nā herinu śrībāsa gadā-i
Translation

I did not see Lord Gauracandra. I did not see Lord Nityānanda. I did not see Lord Advaita. I did not see the feet of Narahari Sarakāra Ṭhākura. I did not see Śrīvāsa and Gadādhara.

ki mora karmera lekhā se saba nahila dekhā eka āmi kena janaminu saba abatāra sāra śrī-gaurāṅga abatāra nā dekhinu kena nā marinu
Translation

Because of my past karma, fate has written that I would not see any of them. Why was I born alone, away from them? I did not see Lord Gaurāṅga, the best of avatāras. Why have I not died?

prabhura priya swa-gaṇa ṭhākura baṁśībadana suta-suta ha-om muñi tāra ahe gaura nityānanda tabe kena mati manda rāmacandra ati durācāra
Translation

I am the grandson of Vaṁśīvādana Ṭhākura, who was a dear associate of the Lord. O Lord Gaura! O Lord Nityānanda! Why was the misbehaved fool Rāmacandra dāsa not born then?
