gopināth, ghucāo saṁsāra jwālā
avidyā-jātanā, āro nāhi sahe,
janama-maraṇa-mālā
भावार्थO Gopinatha, please remove the torment of worldly existence. I can no longer tolerate the pain of ignorance and the repeated succession of births and deaths.
Vaishnav Bhajan
Gopinath Ghucao Samsara
Composed by Bhaktivinoda Thakura
gopīnāth, āmi to’ kāmera dāsa
viṣaya-bāsanā, jāgiche hṛdoye,
phādiche karama phāsa
भावार्थO Gopinatha, indeed I am a servant of lust. Worldly desires are awakening in my heart, and thus the noose of fruitive work is beginning to tighten.
gopināth, kabe vā jāgibo āmi
kāma-rūpa ari, dūre teyāgibo,
hṛdoye sphuribe tumi
भावार्थO Gopinatha, when will I wake up and abandon afar this enemy of lust, end when will You manifest Yourself in my heart?
gopīnāth, āmi to’ tomāra jana
tomāre chāriyā, saṁsāra bhajinu,
bhuliyā āpana-dhana
भावार्थO Gopinatha, I am Your devotee, but having abandoned You and thus having forgotten my real treasure, I have worshiped this mundane world.
gopināth, tumi to’ sakali jāno
āpanāra jane, daṇḍiyā ekhano,
śrī-caraṇe deho sthāno
भावार्थO Gopinatha, You know everything. Now, having punished Your servant, please give him a place at Your lotus feet.
gopīnāth, ei ki vicāra taba
bimukha dekhiyā, chāro nija-jane,
na koro’ karuṇā-laba
भावार्थO Gopinatha, is this Your judgment, that seeing me averse to You, You abandon Your servant and don't bestow even a particle of mercy upon him?
gopīnāth, āmi to mūrakha ati
kise bhālo hoya, kabhu nā bujhinu,
tāi heno mama gati
भावार्थO Gopinatha, I am certainly very foolish, and I have never known what is good for me. Therefore such is my condition.
gopīnāth, tumi to’ paṇḍita-bara
mūḍhera maṅgala, tumi anveṣibe,
e dāse nā bhāvo’ para
भावार्थO Gopinatha, You are indeed the wisest person. Please look for a way to bring about auspiciousness for this fool, and please do not consider this servant as an outsider.
