‘
Gaurāṅga’ bolite hobe by Śrīla Narottam dās Ṭhākur
‘gaurāṅga’ bolite hobe pulaka-śorīra ‘hari hari’ bolite nayane ba’be nīra 1 When will there be shivering of my body upon chanting Lord Gaurāṅga’s Holy Name? When will there be tears in my eyes while chanting the Lord’s Holy Name?
āra kabe nitāi-chā̐da koruṇā koribe saṁsāra-bāsanā more kabe tucha ha’be 2 When will I obtain the mercy of Lord Nītyānanda? When, by His mercy, will my desire for material enjoyment become insignificant?
biṣoya chāḍiyā kabe śuddha ha’be mana kabe hāma herabo śrī-vṛndāvana 3 When will my mind be completely purified, having given up all material desires? When will I attain the vision of Śrī Vṛndāvan Dhām?
rūpa-raghunātha-pade hoibe ākuti kabe hāma bujhabo se jugala-pirīti 4 When will I be eager to follow in the footsteps of Śrī Rūpa and Śrī Raghunāth, and when will I properly understand the loving affairs of the divine couple?
rūpa-raghunātha-pade rahu mora āśa prārthanā koroye sadā narottama-dāsa 5 My only aspiration is to attain the lotus feet of Śrī Rūpa and Śrī Raghunāth. Narottam dās continually submits this prayer.
