durlabha mānava-janama sat-saṅge

Prabhupāda: Ready?

abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
durlabha mānava-janama sat-saṅge

O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the son of Nanda, which make one fearless. Having obtained this rare human birth, cross over this ocean of wordly existence through the association of saintly persons.

e dhana, yaubana, putra, parijana
ithe ki āche paratīti re
e dhana, yaubana...parijana
ithe ki āche paratīti re
jīvana ṭalamala...
kamala-dala-jala, jīvana ṭalamala
kamala-dala-jala, jīvana ṭalamala
ithe ki āche paratīti re
jīvana ṭalamala, kamala-dala-jala

What assurance of real happiness is there in all of one's wealth, youthfulness, sons, and family members? This life is tottering like a drop of water on a lotus petal; therefore you should always serve and worship the divine feet of Lord Hari.

bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re

abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
durlabha mānava-janama sat-saṅge

biphale sevinu kṛpaṇa durajana
capala sukha-laba lāgi' re

Both in the day and at night I remain sleepless, suffering the pains of the heat and cold, the wind and the rain. For a fraction of flickering happiness I have uselessly served wicked and miserly men.

bhajahū re mana...
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
bhajahū re mana śrī-nanda-nandana
abhaya-caraṇāravinda re
durlabha mānava-janama sat-saṅge
taroho e bhava-sindhu re

It is the desire and great longing of Govinda Dāsa to engage himself in the nine processes of bhakti, namely hearing the glories of Lord Hari and chanting those glories, constantly remembering Him and offering prayers to Him, serving the Lord's lotus feet, serving the Supreme Lord as a servant, worshiping Him with flowers and incense and so forth, serving Him as a friend, and completely offering the Lord one's very self.
