Classic Poem

What Gopal wills, will be.
They who trust in their own human strength, are liars beyond all men.
Devotions charms and rites and strivings: these will all be washed away.
That which Gopala has once written, no one can efface.
Sadness, gladness, gain and loss, be not dissolved in tears for these.
O Sur Das, plenteous in mercy is the Lord: on Rama's feet stay Thy mind.
