LYRICS:
(1)
hari hari ki mora karama abhāga
biphale jīvana gelo, hṛdoye rohilo śelo,
nāhi bhelo hari anurāga
(2)
yajña, dāna, tīrtha-snāna, puṇya karma japa dhyāna,
akāraṇe sab gelo mohe
bujhilām mone heno, upahās hoy jeno,
vastra hīna ābharaṇa dehe
(3)
sādhu mukhe kathāmṛta, śuniyā vimala cita,
nāhi bhelo aparādha kāraṇ
satata asat sańga, sakali hoilo bhańga,
ki koribo āile śaman
(4)
śruti smṛti sadā robe, śuniyāchi ei sabe,
hari pada abhaya śaraṇ
janama loiyā sukhe, kṛṣṇa nā bolinu mukhe,
nā korinu se rūpa bhāvan
(5)
rādhā-kṛṣṇa duhuń pāy, tanu mana rahu tāy,
ār dūre jāuk vāsanā
narottama dāse koy, āro mora nāhi bhoy,
tanu mana soḿpinu āpanā
TRANSLATION
1) O Lord Hari, Lord Hari, everything I do is inauspicious. I have uselessly wasted my life, and I have no love for You. It is as if my heart were pierced by a sharp javelin.
2) My Vedic sacrifices, charity, bathing in holy places of pilgrimage, pious deeds, mantra-chanting, and meditation, are all useless and illusory. In my heart I know that without devotional service these things are a joke, like placing valuable ornaments on a naked body.
3) Although I sometimes hear the nectarean message of Godhead from the mouths of the devotees, because I commit so many offenses, I do not become purified. I continually associate with non-devotees, and in this way all my spiritual advancement is broken apart. What will I do when death comes?
4) Although again and again I heard the Sruti and Smrti scriptures' declaration that one should take shelter of the Lord Hari's lotus feet in order to become fearless, I did not chant Krsna's name, and I did not meditate on His transcendental form.
5) I will now concentrate my mind on the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, and all my material desires will flee far away. Narottama dasa says: Now that I have fixed my mind on Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, I am no longer afraid of my future.

oṁ namo bhagavate narasiṁhāya namas tejas-tejase āvir-āvirbhava vajra-nakha vajra-daṁṣṭra karmāśayān randhaya randhaya tamo grasa grasa om svāhā; abhayam abhayam ātmani bhūyiṣṭhā oṁ kṣraum
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possess nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world."
ŚB 5.18.9
svasty astu viśvasya khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī
"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other’s welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him."
