Chant, "Hari!" Chant, "Hari!" Chant, Hari!", O my brothers. Ah! Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda brought us the holy name of Lord Hari. (Ah! They saw our sufferings.)
Ah! For the soul nothing is a precious treasure but the names of Lord Hari. Ah! The holy names of Lord Hari purified even Jagāi and Mādhāi. (Ah! They were great sinners.)
Ah! I am shackled by Māyā. My life will soon be cut off. (Ah! StillI declare, "It is I." and "It is mine.".) Ah! In the grip of many desires, I wander and wander in circles. Where will I go now? (Ah! My desires have no end.)
Chant, "Hari!", O my brothers. Material desires are worthless like a pile of ashes. (Ah! Real happiness is freedom from material desires.) Ah! Turning away from desires for sense pleasure or impersonal liberation, I chant the names of Lord Hari. (Ah! Now I stand in pure goodness.)
Ah! Inspired by the glory of the holy name, I dance. Now I attain all that is good. (Ah! I renounce the struggle to gain pathetic, worthless things.) Bhaktivinoda says: Ah! Now I remove all obstacles that stop the holy name. (Ah! I renounce all obstacles to the holy name.)
