Ami Ati Pamara Durjana

āmi ati pāmara durjana ki korinu hāya hāya prakṛtira dāsatāya kāṭāinu amūlya jībana

I am a most wretched sinner. Alas! Alas! I passed this priceless lifetime as a slave of matter.

koto dina garbhābāse kāṭāinu anāyāse bālya gelo bala-dharma-baśe grāmya-dharma e jaubana miche dinu bisarjana bṛddha-kāla elo abaśeṣe

How many days did I pass in the womb? My childhood passed in childish activities. My youth was foolishly thrown away in household life. Now only old-age is left.

biṣaye nāhiko sukha bhoga-śakti su-baimukha anta danta śarīra aśakta jībana jantraṇamoya maraṇete sadā bhoya bolo kise hoi anurakta

I have no power to enjoy sense pleasures. I turn from them. At the end my teeth and my body are powerless. My whole life is pain. I fear death. Tell me: how can I like this kind of life?

bhoga-bastu-bhoga-śakti ta'te chilo anurakti je parjanta chilo dehe bala samasta bigata ho'lo ki loiyā thāki bolo ebe citta sadāi cañcala

As long as my body was strong and I had the power to enjoy, I was happy. Now my powers have all gone away. Tell me: Why is my heart always restless now?

sāmarthya thākite kāya hari nā bhajinu hāya asanna kālete kibā kori dhik mora e jībane nā sādhinu nitya-dhane mitra chāri' bhajilāma ari

When I had the power, I did not worship Lord Kṛṣṇa. Now the final moment has come. What will I do? My life was wasted. I did not find the eternal treasure. Turning from my true friend, I worshiped my enemies.
