A few slokas from Bhaja Govindam and translation
Bhaja Govindam
Bhaja Govindam bhaja govindam
Bhaja Govindam mudhamate
Samprapte sannihite kale
Nahi nahi rakshati dukrn karane
Worship Govinda, worship Govinda,
Worship Govinda, foolish one!
Rules of grammar profit nothing
Once the hour of death draws nigh
Mudha jahihi dhanagama-trsnam
Kuru sadbudhim manasi vitrsnam
Yad-ladbase nijakarmopattam
Vittam tena vinodaya cittam
Renounce, O fool, your ceaseless thirst
For hoarding gold and precious gems;
Content yourself with what may come
Through deeds performed in earlier lives;
Devote your mind to righteousness
And let dispassion be your law
Nari-stanabhara-nabhidesam
Drstva ma ga mohavesam
Etanmamsa-vasadi-vikaram
Manasi vicintaya varam varam
Lust at the sight of a woman's body
Springs from ignorance, springs from error;
Inwardly reason, over and over,
Bodies are flesh and blood and fat.
