I got this after a lot of search; do not remember where I got it from. I do not know what those numbers after the stanzas denote either. Mr. Lakshman might know.

Composer: Sri Poontanam Nambootiri

pallavi: bhAgEshri
kaNDu kaNDaNN irikkuM janaNNaLe-
kkaNDilennu varuttunnatuM bhavAn (10)
raNDu nAlu dinaM koNDoruttane
taNDiletti naTattunnatuM bhavAn (12)
mALika mukaLERiya mannanTe
tOLil mARAppaNNAkkunnatum bhavAN (14)
kRSNa kRSNA mukundA janArdanA
kRSNa govinda nArAyaNA harE (149)

anupallavi: nAdanAmakriyA
eNNiyeNNi kurayunnitAyussuM
maNDi maNDi kkarErunnu mohavuM (258)
ittamOrOnnu cinticcirikkavE
cattu pokunnu pAvaM shiva shiva (270)
kRSNa kRSNA mukundA janArdanA
kRSNa govinda nArAyaNA harE (149)

caraNam: shubhapantuvarALi
kUTiyallA piRakkunna nerattuM
kUTiyallA marikkunna nerattum (290)
madhyEyiNNane kANunna nerattu
matsarikkunnatendinu nAm vRthA (292)
kRSNa kRSNA mukundA janArdanA
kRSNa govinda nArAyaNA harE (149)

Meaning:
People whom we see every day, God makes them disappear one day.
In two or four days, God changes the destiny of a man, and puts him from palace to prison.
A King who is rich and arrogant today, God makes him bear heavy burden the next day!
While you count, your life gets shorter and shorter in a fast pace and we die one day.
We never were together while we were born, and we will never be together while we die. Then why possess jealousy, enmity, etc and waste your life?

http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=1098396&t=5207 - my rendition of this beautiful lyrics partially. The composition is by pUnthAnam and it is called jnappAna. I have malayalam lyrics consisting of 29 lines in the sampradaya bhajan book published by P.R. Sankara Iyer. For bhajan, I sing a few selected lines only. If you can read malayalam, I can fax this to you. Let me know.

Thank you all for taking the time to help me. I did not know the song had 61 stanzas. I will at least memorize the first 3 for now. Mr. VK Raman, I can not read Malayalam. Since Mr. braindrain and Enna_Solven have posted it in English, I will use them.
