Māyā Baddha Jata Khaṇa Thāke To' Jībera Mana
hari he
māyā-baddha jata khaṇa thāke to' jībera mana
joḍa mājhe kore bicāraṇa
parabyoma jñāna-moya tāhe taba sthiti hoya
mana nāhi pāya daraśana
अर्थ
O Lord Kṛṣṇa, as long as they stay in Māyā's prison, the rebellious souls plunge their hearts into material things. They think only of matter. Their hearts cannot see the spiritual world
filled with knowledge, the world where You stay.
bhakti-kṛpā-khaḍgāghāte joḍa-bandha cheda tā'te
jaya mana prakṛtira pāra
tomāra sundara rūpa here' taba aparūpa
joḍa-bastu koroye dhik-kāra
अर्थ
Grasping the sword of devotional service and mercy, the heart may cut the ropes of matter that bind it. Then the heart may leave the world of matter and gaze at Your wonderful handsome form, a form that mocks everything made of matter.
ananta bibhūti jāṅra jini doyā pārābāra
sei prabhu jībera īśwara
e bhaktibinoda dīna sadā śuddha-bhakti-hīna
śuddha-bhakti māge nirantara
अर्थ
O Lord, Your glories and opulences have no end. You are an ocean of mercy. You are the master of all souls. Poor Bhaktivinoda, who has no pure devotional service, again and again
begs for pure devotion to You.
