Ki Rupe Paiba Seba

Ki Rupe Paiba Seba

(1)

ki-rupe paiba seba mui duracara
sri-guru-vaisnabe rati na haila amara

(2)

asesa mayate mana magana haila
vaisnabete lesa-matra rati na janmila

(3)

bisaye tuliya andha hainu diba-nisi
gale phamsa dite phire maya se pisaci

(4)

inhare kariya jaya chadana na jaya
sadhu-krpa bina ara hanika upaya

(5)

adosada-rasi-prabhu patita-uddhara
ei-bara narottame karaha nistara

Translation:


1)
I have no devotion for either the Vaisnavas or my own spiritual master. How is it possible for a rascal like
me to attain devotional service?

2)
My mind is always drowning in illusion. I have not even the smallest fragment of devotion for the Vaisnavas.

3)
I have become blind by constantly meditating on the objects of the senses. The maya-witch has placed
a hangman's noose around my neck.

4)
Even if I can cure my blindness and defeat the maya-hangman, I cannot become free from material
illusion without the mercy of the saintly devotees.

5)
O master, O purifier of the sinful, O savior of the fallen souls, please rescue this Narottama dasa.
