ŚRĪ-TULASĪ-KĪRTANA
by Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura

[1]
namo namaḥ tulasī kṛṣṇa-preyasi namo namaḥ
rādhā-kṛṣṇa-sevā pāvo ei abilāṣī
[2]
ye tomāra śaraṇa loy, tara vāñchā pūrṇa hoy
kṛpā kori' koro tāre vṛndāvana-vāsi
[3]
mora ei abhilāṣa, vilāsa kuñje dio vāsa
nayana heribo sadā yugala-rūpa-rāśi
[4]
ei nivedana dhara, sakhīra anugata koro
sevā-adhikāra diye koro nīja dāsī
[5]
dīna kṛṣṇa-dāse koy, ei yena mora hoy
śrī-rādhā-govinda-preme sadā yena bhāsi

O Tulasī, beloved of Kṛṣṇa, I bow before you again and again. The only desire left in me is to serve Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. O dweller of Vṛndāvana, the wishes of all those who seek your favor are fulfilled. Bestow your kindness upon me. I wish you to live in my small garden and remain green forever. O storehouse of beauty, I am your follower and sakhī. Pray that by making me your maidservant, as a servant of Kṛṣṇa, this body will be His—not mine. Bless me, that in this body may dwell only love for Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
