Nitā I Mora Jībana Dhana Nitā I Mora Jāti
Lord Nitāi is the treasure of my life. Nitāi is my family. In my life I have no goal but Nitāi.
To my heart the best of material pleasures is worthless like a pile of ashes. I will beg alms in the town. That is how I will eat. I will sing the name of Lord Nitāi.
I will not go to any country where Lord Nitāi does not stay. I will not look at the face of a person averse to Lord Nitāi.
Lord Śiva carries on his head the Gaṅgā, the water that has washed Nitāi's feet. One who does not worship such a Nitāi only suffers and dies.
Locana dāsa says: Whoever does not accept my Nitāi, light a fire and set it right in his mouth.
