1)
mānasa, deho, geho, yo kichu mora
arpilūṅ tuyā pade, nanda-kiśora
arpilūṅ tuyā pade, nanda-kiśora
My mind, my body, my home, or whatever I have in my possession I surrender unto Your lotus feet, O my dear Lord, son of Nanda Mahārāja.
2)
sampade-vipade, jīvane-maraṇe
dāya mama gelā, tuyā o-pada varaṇe
dāya mama gelā, tuyā o-pada varaṇe
In good or bad fortune, in life or at death, there is no other duty than taking shelter of Your lotus feet.
3)
mārobi rākhobi—yo icchā tohārā
nitya-dāsa-prati tuyā adhikārā
nitya-dāsa-prati tuyā adhikārā
Now if You like You can kill me, or if You like You can give me protection. Whatever You like You can do. I am Your eternal servitor. You have every right to deal with me in any way You please.
4)
janmāobi moy icchā yadi tor
bhakta-gṛhe jani janma hao mor
bhakta-gṛhe jani janma hao mor
If I must be reborn, let that birth, by Your desire, be in the home of a devotee. Let that birth be mine.
5)
kīṭa-janma hao yathā tuyā dāsa
bahir-mukha brahma-janme nāhi āśa
bahir-mukha brahma-janme nāhi āśa
Even a worm's life I'll live as Your servant, but a nondevotee Brahma's lifetime I'll never accept.
6)
bhukti-mukti-spṛhā vihīna ye bhakta
lobhoite tāṅko saṅga anurakta
lobhoite tāṅko saṅga anurakta
If one has no aspiration for enjoyment or liberation, I simply hanker for his association.
7)
janaka, jananī, dayita, tanaya
prabhu, guru, pati-tuhūṅ sarva-moya
prabhu, guru, pati-tuhūṅ sarva-moya
Fathers, mothers, daughters, sons—all there may be—master, preceptor, husband, You are all in all to me.
8)
bhakativinod kohe, śuno kāna!
rādhānātha! tuhūṅ hāmāra parāṇa
rādhānātha! tuhūṅ hāmāra parāṇa
Śrīla Bhaktivinoda says: "O Kṛṣṇa, do hear. Lord of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, You are my life dear."
