Gītā-mālā

(1)
hari he
tavāṅghri-kamala-dvaya, vilāsa-vikrama-maya
parāvara jagata vyāpiyā
sarva-kṣaṇa vartamāna, bhakta-kleśa-avasāna
lagi’ sadā prastuta ha’iyā

O Hari! Your two lotus feet are full of sportive power and glory, pervading the higher and lower worlds. Ever-present at every moment, they stand always ready to bring an end to the sufferings of Your devotees.

(2)
jagatera sei dhana, āmi jaga-madhya-jana
ataeva sama adhikāra
āmi kibā bhāgya-hīna, sādhane vañcita dīna
ki kāja jīvane āra chāra

That treasure belongs to the whole world, and I am a person within that world; hence I possess the same claim to it. Yet how unfortunate I am! Deprived of sādhana and miserable, what purpose remains in my life, O fallen one?

(3)
kṛpā vinā nāhi gati, e bhaktivinoda ati
dainya kari’ bale prabhu pāya
kabe tava kṛpā pe’ye, uṭhiba sabale dhe’ye
heriba se pada-yuga hāya

Without Your mercy there is no refuge. Thus Bhaktivinoda, in great humility, speaks at the feet of the Lord – “Alas! When, obtaining Your mercy, shall I rise and run with all my strength to behold those two feet?”
