হরি হে!
অর্থের সঞ্চয়ে, বিষয়প্রয়াসে,
আন কথা প্রজল্পনে

O Hari! Due to accumulating excessive wealth, endeavoring for sense enjoyment, engaging in frivolous gossip, being eager to accept rules and regulations unsuited to my own qualification, keeping bad association...
অস্থির সিদ্ধান্তে, রহিনু মজিয়া,

এ হ্ড়্দয়ে মাত্র, পরহিংসামদ,
প্রতিষ্ঠা, শঠতা, স্ফুরে ২
asthira siddhānte, rahinu majiyā,

e hṛdaye mātra, parahiṁsā-mada,
pratiṣṭhā, śaṭhatā, sphure 2
asthira — (laulya, aniścit) shaking (fickleness, unsettled or doubtful); siddhānte — (vicār) in conclusion (considerations); rahinu — I have remained; majiyā — (magna hôiyā) having been immersed; haribhakti — Hari + devotion; raila — (rahilô) remained; dūre — far away; e — this; hṛdaye — within heart; mātra — only; parahiṁsā — malice, spite, envy; mada — (mattatā) madness; pratiṣṭhā — (yaśolipsa) arrogance (yearning for fame); śaṭhatā — (dhūrtatā) cheating; sphure — (sphurit hay) manifests
…and remaining absorbed in fickle conceptions, devotion to Śrī Hari remains far away. Within my heart, only envy of others, madness, arrogance, and wickedness arise.
