Ār Keno Māyā-Jāle
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura
ār keno māyā-jāle poḍitecho, jīva-mīn
nāhi jāno baddha ho’ye ro’be tumi ciro-din
আর কেন মায়া-জালে পড়িতেছ, জীব-মীন
নাহি জানো বদ্ধ হয়ে র’বে তুমি চির-দিন
आर केनो माया-जाले पड़ितेछो, जीव-मीन
नाहि जानो बद्ध हो'ये रो'बे तुमि चिरो-दिन
O fish like soul, why have you fallen into the entangling nets of Maya? You have not understood that being bound up by those nets you will have to remain in this material world for a long, long time.
ati tuccha bhoga-āśe, bandī ho’ye māyā-pāśe
rohile vikṛta-bhāve daṇḍya jathā parādhīn
অতি তুচ্ছ ভোগ-আশে, বন্দী হয়ে মায়া-পাশে
রহিলে বিকৃত-ভাবে দণ্ড্য যথা পরাধীন
अति तुच्छ भोग-आशे, बन्दी हो'ये माया-पाशे
रोहिले विकृत-भावे दण्ड्य जथा पराधीन
After becoming captive in Maya’s snare due to your desires for insignificant enjoyments, you remain transformed in a spiritually diseased condition, punishable just like a disobedient servant.
ekhona bhakati-bale, kṛṣṇa-prema-sindhu-jale
krīḍā kori’ anāyāse thāko tumi kṛṣṇa-ādhīn
এখন ভকতি-বলে, কৃষ্ণ-প্রেম-সিন্ধু-জলে
ক্রীড়া করি’ অনায়াসে থাকো তুমি কৃষ্ণ-অধীন
एखोन भकति-बले, कृष्ण-प्रेम-सिन्धु-जले
क्रीड़ा कोरि' अनायासे थाको तुमि कृष्ण-अधीन
Now, by the power of devotional service, always remain subservient to Lord Krsna, swimming and frolicking freely in the nectarine ocean of Krsna-prema.
