Gopinath Mama Nivedana Suno

Composed by Bhaktivinoda Thakura

1
gopīnāth, mama nivedana śuno viṣayī durjana, sadā kāma-rata, kichu nāhi mora guṇa
भावार्थO Gopinatha, Lord of the gopis, please hear my request. I am a wicked materialist, always addicted to worldly desires, and no good qualities do I possess.
2
gopīnāth, āmāra bharasā tumi tomāra caraṇe, loinu śaraṇa, tomāra kiṅkora āmi
भावार्थO Gopinatha, You are my only hope, and therefore I have taken shelter at Your lotus feet. I am now Your eternal servant.
3
gopīnāth, kemone śodhibe more nā jāni bhakati, karme jaḍa-mati, porechi soṁsāra-ghore
भावार्थO Gopinatha, how will You purify me? I do not know what devotion is, and my materialistic mind is absorbed in fruitive work. I have fallen into this dark and perilous worldly existence.
4
gopīnāth, sakali tomāra māyā nāhi mama bala, jñāna sunirmala, swādhīna nahe e kāyā
भावार्थO Gopinatha, everything here is Your illusory energy. I have no strength or transcendental knowledge, and this body of mine is not independent and free from the control of material nature.
5
gopīnāth, niyata caraṇe sthāna māge e pāmara, kāndiyā kāndiyā, korohe karuṇā dāna
भावार्थO Gopinatha, this sinner, who is weeping and weeping, begs for an eternal place at Your divine feet. Please give him Your mercy.
6
gopīnāth, tumi to’ sakali pāro durjane tārite, tomāra śakati, ke āche pāpīra āro
भावार्थO Gopinatha, You are able to do anything, and therefore You have the power to deliver all sinners. Who is there that is more of a sinner than myself?
7
gopīnāth, tumi kṛpā-pārābāra jīvera kāraṇe, āsiyā prapañce, līlā koile subistāra
भावार्थO Gopinatha, You are the ocean of mercy. Having come into this phenomenal world, You expand Your divine pastimes for the sake of the fallen souls.
8
gopīnāth, āmi ki doṣe doṣī asura sakala, pāilo caraṇa, vinodá thākilo bosi'
भावार्थO Gopinatha, I am so sinful that although all the demons attained Your lotus feet, Bhaktivinoda has remained in worldly existence.
