Verse 24 of 95
Cc Madhya 2.24

ঽকৃষ্ণ—কৃপাপারাবার, কভু করিবেন অংগীকারঽ সখী, তোর এ ব্যর্থ বচন জীবের জীবন চংচল, যেন পদ্মপত্রের জল, তত দিন জীবে কোন্জন

ऽकृष्ण—कृपापारावार, कभु करिबेन अंगीकारऽ सखी, तोर ए व्यर्थ वचन जीवेर जीवन चंचल, येन पद्मपत्रेर जल, तत दिन जीवे कोन्जन

'kṛṣṇa—kṛpā-pārāvāra, kabhu karibena aṅgīkāra' sakhī, tora e vyartha vacana jīvera jīvana cañcala, yena padma-patrera jala, tata dina jīve kon jana

Translation

"I say, 'My dear friends, you are asking Me to be patient, saying that Kṛṣṇa is an ocean of mercy and that some time in the future He will accept Me. However, I must say that this will not console Me. A living entity's life is very flickering. It is like water on the leaf of a lotus flower. Who will live long enough to expect Kṛṣṇa's mercy?
