A most beautiful prayer

Śrīla Siddha Kṛṣṇa dāsa Bābājī, who lived in Govardhana, prayed as follows:

hā hā prāṇeśvari! tuyā viccheda anale; niravadhi prāṇa mora dhiki dhiki jvale
e duḥkha sāgara hoite uddhāra koriyā; śrī caraṇe rākho more kiṅkarī koriyā
heno dina ki hobe tava śrī mukhera vāṇī; karṇete śunibo āra nūpurera dhvani
tomāra lāvaṇyāmṛta nayana caṣake; kobe vā koribo pāna parānanda sukhe
āghrāna koribo tava aṅga parimala; pulake pūrṇita hobe mora kalevara
kobe tavocchiṣṭāmṛta dibe kṛpā kori; pāiyā kṛtārthā hobe e nava kiṅkarī
tumi mora japa tapa tumi mora dhyāna; janmāvadhi tomā vinā nāhi jāni āna
kāntāli sahita tumi yathāya vihara; kṛpā kori sei sthāne more dāsī koro
kānde dīna kṛṣṇa dāsa dante tṛṇa dhari; abhilāṣa pūrṇa mora koro hemagauri

“O Queen of my life! My heart is constantly burning in the fire of separation from You! Please save me from this ocean of sorrow by keeping me at Your lotus feet and making me Your maidservant! When will I hear the delectable words from Your beautiful mouth and the jingling of Your ankle bells? When will I drink the nectar of Your indescribable beauty through the cups of my eyes in topmost ecstasy, and when will I smell Your bodily fragrance, making all the hairs of my body stand on end? Please bless this new maidservant by giving her the nectarean food-remnants that emanate from Your lotus-mouth! You are my japa, You are my penance and You are my meditation, and since I was born I haven’t known anyone but You! Wherever You sport with Your lover and Your girlfriends, please take me there also as Your maidservant. Thus the fallen Kṛṣṇa dāsa weeps, holding a straw between his teeth and praying: O golden beauty! Please fulfill my desires!”
