Arthahīna Dekhi’ More Cheḍeche Sabāi
arthahīna dekhi’ more cheḍeche sabāi
kutumba-ātmīya āra bandhujana bhāi
अर्थ
Seeing that I have no money, everyone has left me, including all my family members, relatives, close friends and brothers!
duḥkha haya hāsi pāya, ekā vasi hāsi
māyāra saṁsāra ei kāke bhālavāsi
अर्थ
However, although I am supposed to be unhappy, actually I am laughing. Indeed, sitting here alone in the holy abode of vṛndāvana I am laughing in great happiness! Who in this material life of so-called family, friendship, and love can be said to really love another?
kothā gela mātā-pitā āra snehamaya
kothā gela jyeṣṭha yārā svajanādi haya
अर्थ
Where are my affectionate mother and father now? Where are the other near and dear ones? Where have all the elder relatives and close family members gone?
tādera khabara kebā deba more bala
nāme mātra tādera saṁsāra raye gela
अर्थ
Tell me! Who is there who can give me information about their whereabouts today? What si left of their dear “family” at present? Now it exists in name only.
