Madana Mohana Mani Gauranga Badana Khani

madana mohana maṇi, gaurāṅga badana khāni rūpa heri ki nā haila more sonāra varaṇa tanu, ei chila kāla kānu nahile ki mana curi kore?
Translation

I consider Gauranga's face to be like Madana mohana's; and when viewing His body – I am unable to describe my captivation! Oh, this Golden youth must have been that Black youth Krsna – for how else could He have stolen my mind?

rasera parāṇa jāra, kule ki koribe tāra nadīyā nāgara hena jana ki chāra dāruṇa mati, majila jubatī satī ghare ghare premera kādana
Translation

But what about the Nadiya damsels who have a rasika heart, will their so-called family tie be able to stop them? How will they resist Him? And what can we say about the intense agony of Nadiya's chaste young girls -for their love-lorn crying can be heard from every home.

nayana kamala nava , aruṇa parābhava dhārā bahe mukha buka bahiyā āhā mari mari sai, marama tomāra kai jīva nā go gorā nā dekhiyā
Translation

Hence their soft, lotus-eyes, conquered by the Gauranga-sun, now pour tears that stream over their breasts. Oh sakhi! I'm going to pass away … so just hear my confession.

hiyāya premera śara, tanu kaila jara jara probodha nā māne more prāṇī suradhunī tīre jāiyā, bhāsāiba kula krīḍā bhajiba se gorā guṇamaṇi
Translation

Without properly knowing never classify Gora as ordinary -for my mind has fathomed the sweetness of His prema — my body is burning in a fever -and my heart cannot be pacified without Him! Just let me go to the Ganga and drown all of my family obligations; then I shall fully worship Gora guna mani.

pūrabe śuninu jata, sei saba abhimata eve bhela kālatanu gorā vāsudeva ghoṣera viṣṇuānī, rasika nāgara jāni nahila ki gopīra mana cora
Translation

Concerning everything that I've heard about dark-complexioned Krsna – the same applies to Gora. Thus Vasudeva Ghosa says, I know that He is a Rasika nagara – for how else could He have stolen the gopis' minds?
