kobe kṛṣṇa dhan pābo

Kirtan, Sree Dinabandhu Brahmachari

This Bengali kirtan is from the book 'Prarthana' composed by Srila Narottama Dāsa Thakur and is labeled under section 'Mathurā Virohcita Darśana Lālasā Song 1'. The mood of the song is longing to see Mathura again and attain Lord kṛṣṇa again. It is sung in Bengali folk tune by Sri Dinabandhu Brahmachari in the association of devotees praying for the blessings of Srila Gurudev prior to Srila Gurudev’s departure.

  • kabe kṛṣṇa dhan pābo, hiyāra mājhāre thobo,
    juṛāibo a pāñch parāṇ
    sājāiyā dibo hiyā, bosāibo prāṇa priyā,
    nirakhibo se candra boyān

    he sajani! kobe mora hoibe sudina?
    se prāṇa-nāther sańge, kobe vā phiribo rańge
    sukhamoy yamunā pulina

    lalitā viśākhā niyā, tāhāre bheṭibo giyā,
    sājāiyā nānā upahār
    sadaya hoiyā vidhi, milāibe guṇa nidhi,
    heno bhāgya hoibe āmār?

    dāruṇa vidhira nāṭ, bhāńgilo premer hāṭ
    tila mātra nā rākhilo tār
    kohe narottama dās, ki mora jīvane āśa,
    chāṛi gelo vrajendra kumār
