jiva jaga jiva jaga gorachanda bale
kata nidra yao maya pisachira kole [1]
‘Wake up, soul! Wake up, soul!’ says Gorachand (Golden Moon). ‘How long are
you going to sleep in the lap of this witch Maya?’

bhuliya rahile tumi avidyara bhare [2]
‘Forgetting that you came to this world saying, “I will serve You,” you
carried on living in ignorance.’
tomare laite ami hainu avatara
ami bina bandhu ara ke achhe tomara [3]
‘I have come for you to this world! What other friend do you have except
Me?’
enechhi ausadhi maya nasibara lagi
harinama maha-mantra lao tumi magi [4]
‘I have brought you the remedy against Maya – pray and accept this
maha-mantra of the Holy Name.’
bhakativinoda prabhura charane padiya
sei harinama (maha) mantra laila magiya [5]
Falling at the Lord’s holy feet, Bhaktivinod prayed for and accepted this
maha-mantra of the Holy Name.
