Haha Mora Ki Chāra Adṛṣṭa
Dhānaśī-rāga
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.
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.
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?
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?
