hari he
bhramite saṁsāra-vane, kabhu daiva-saṁghaṭane
kona-mate kona bhāgyavān
tava pada uddeśiyā, thāke kṛtāñjali haya
eka-bāra ohe bhagavān
O Hari! Wandering in the forest of worldly existence, some fortunate person may, by a chance arrangement of providence, once stand with folded hands before your feet, O Bhagavān.
(2)
sei khaṇe tā’ra yata, amaṅgala haya hata
su-maṅgala haya puṣṭa ati
āra nāhi kṣaya haya, krame tā’ra śubhodaya
tā’re deya sarvottama-gati
At that moment all his inauspiciousness is destroyed, and his auspiciousness becomes greatly nourished. It never diminishes. Gradually his good fortune arises, and he attains the highest destination.
(3)
emana dayālu tumi, emana durbhāgā āmi
kabhu nā karinu praṇāma
tava pada-padma prati, nā jāne e duṣṭa-mati
bhaktivinodera pariṇāma
You are so compassionate, and I am so unfortunate. Never have I offered obeisance to your lotus feet. This wicked mind does not understand their value. Such is the condition of Bhaktivinoda.
