vāsanā haibe kṣīṇa

হরি হরি কবে মোর হবে হেন দিন ।

বিমল বৈষ্ণবে, রতি উপজিবে,

हरि हरि कबे मोर हबे हेन दिन ।

विमल वैष्णवे, रति उपजिबे,

वासना हइबे क्षीण ॥

Oh my Lord Hari, when will such a day be mine? Developing love and attachment for a pure devotee, my material desires will thereby become weakened and subdued.

सतत मजिया रब ॥

translation 2

However I feel in the core of my heart, I will behave accordingly, totally free from duplicity. Without expecting any respect, I will give all honor unto others. I will constantly remain absorbed in ecstatic remembrance of the Lord by performing the congregational chanting of His holy names.

e dehera kriyā, abhyāse karibo,

jīvana jāpana lāgi'

এ দেহের ক্রিয়া, অভ্যাসে করিব,

Just to pass this life I will perform only whatever minimum activity is required to maintain this body, and I will become attached only to that which is favorable for the worship of Lord Krsna.

এ দেহ ছাড়িয়া দিব ॥

भजनेर याहा, प्रतिकूल ताहा,

दृढ़भावे त्यजिब,

भजिते भजिते, समय आसिले,

ए देह छाड़िया दिब ॥

भकतिविनोद, एइ आशा करि',

बसिया गोद्रुम-वने,

प्रभु-कृपा लागि', व्याकुल अन्तरे,

सदा कान्दे संगोपने ॥

These are the hopes of Bhaktivinoda while living within the forest of Godruma. Hiding in secrecy, he continuously weeps with an extremely eager heart only for the purpose of receiving the causeless mercy of the Supreme Lord.
