(1)
ore mana, bhalonahi lage e samsar
janama-marana-jara, je samsare ache bhara,
tahe kiba ache bol' sar
(2)
dhana-jana-parivar, keho nahe kabhu ka'r,
kale mitra, akale apar
jaha raknibare cai, taha nahe thake bhai,
anitya samasta binasvar
(3)
ayu ati alpa-dina, krame taha hoy ksina,
samaner nikata darsana
roga-soka anibar, citta kore' charakhar,
bandhava-bijoga durghatana
(4)
bhalo ko're dekho bhai, amisra ananda nai,
je ache, se duhkher karana
se sukher tore tabe, keno maya-dasa habe,
haraibe paramartha-dhana
(5)
itihasa-alocane, bheve' dekho nija mane,
koto asurika durasoy
indriya-tarpana sar, kori' koto duracar,
sese labhe marana niscoy
(6)
marana-samay ta'ra, upay hoiya hara,
anutap-anale jvalilo
kukkuradi pasu-pray, jiban katay hay,
paramartha kabhu na cintilo
(7)
emon bisaye mana, keno thako acetana,
chado chado bisayer asa
sri-guru-caranasroy, koro' sabe bhava joy,
e daser sei to' bharasa

TRANSLATION
1) Listen, my dear mind. I don't like this material world at all. It is simply filled with the suffering of birth,
death, disease and old age. Besides all this
suffering, tell me now that good thing could possibly be found here?
2) Wealth, followers and family members they can never really belong to anyone. For a time they are together,
and afterwards they all drift apart. All
these relationships which you would love to hold on to, none of them will remain for long, my dear mind. Oh
brother, know it for sure that all these temporary things are flimsy and perishable.
3) The lifespan of one living in this world is extremely short, and even that gradually decays more and more until
one beholds Yamaraja hovering nearby. Afflicted with continuous diseases and lamenting in heart-broken grief,
his consciousness thus degrades more and more. Finally one meets his downfall, and he again suffers the calamity
of separation from his dear kinsmen.
4) Just see here, my dear brother. Don't go for this mixed pain and pleasure of so-called material happiness, for it
is actually the source of all your
troubles. If this is the real situation, then why have you become the slave of maya just on account of this miserable
so-called happiness? Do you realize what you've done? If you become the slave of maya then you only rob yourself
of the eternal treasure waiting for you, the supreme goal of life.
5) Just become a little thoughtful for once and reflect back on your own life story, how many demoniac
temptations you were motivated by. Simply to get a little sense gratification, how many unlimitedly sinful acts
have you committed? So now just see the result, the only gain in the long run is your certain death.
6) Alas! Never having once considered the purpose or goal of human existence, such a person wastes his entire life
just like a dog or a pig. Then at the time of death, being bereft and cheated out of any means of deliverance, he
laments bitterly and burning the fire of repentance.
7) My dear mind, so tell me why you remain stupefied and unconscious absorbed in this useless temporary
sense gratification? I want you to give it up right now, and give up all hopes for future sense gratification as well.
For the expectation of this humble servant is that you will be able to conquer over this miserable material existence
by being firmly situated under the protection offered by the lotus feet of sri guru, your most well-wishing
spiritual master.
