Viraha-gīti

by Śrīla Narottam Dās Ṭhākur
    1
    • ye ānila prema-dhana karuṇā prachura
    • hena prabhu kothā gelā āchārya ṭhākura
    • Where has Advaita Āchārya, the Lord who mercifully brought the wealth of divine love to this world, gone?

  • 2
    • kā̐hā mora svarūpa rūpa kā̐hā sanātana
    • kā̐hā dāsa raghunātha patita-pāvana
    • Where are my Svarūp, Rūpa, and Sanātan? Where is my Raghunāth Dās? Where are the saviours of the fallen souls?

  • 3
    • kā̐hā mora bhaṭṭa-yuga kā̐hā kavirāja
    • eka-kāle kothā gelā gorā naṭa-rāja
    • Where are my Raghunāth Bhaṭṭa and Gopāl Bhaṭṭa? Where is my Kṛṣṇadās Kavirāj? Where has the great dancer Śrī Gaurāṅga suddenly gone?

  • 4
    • pāṣāṇe kuṭiba māthā anale paśiba
    • gaurāṅga guṇera nidhi kothā gele pāba
    • I will break my head on a rock, I will enter into fire—where shall I go to reach the reservoir of all qualities, Śrī Gaurāṅga?

  • 5
    • se saba saṅgīra saṅge ye kaila vilāsa
    • se saṅga nā pāñā kānde narottama dāsa
    • Not finding the association of Śrī Gaurāṅga, who performed His Pastimes with all these associates, Narottam Dās weeps.
