1)
hari he dayālo mora jaya rādhā-nātha
bāro bāro ei-bāro laho nija-sātha
bāro bāro ei-bāro laho nija-sātha
O Śrī Hari! O Lord of Rādha! Be kind unto me again and again. Please, this time, take me to Your lotus feet.
2)
bahu yoni bhrami' nātha! loinu śaraṇa
nija-guṇe kṛpā koro' adhama-tāraṇa
nija-guṇe kṛpā koro' adhama-tāraṇa
Through many wombs have I traveled before surrendering to You. Please pick me up—I, who am unqualified.
3)
jagata-kāraṇa tumi jagata-jīvana
tomā chāḍā kara nahi he rādhā-ramaṇa
tomā chāḍā kara nahi he rādhā-ramaṇa
You are the cause and divine force of the universe, and there is no other controller than You. O Supreme Lord, O bliss of Rādha,
4)
bhubana-maṅgala tumi bhuvanera pati
tumi upekhile nātha ki hoibe gati
tumi upekhile nātha ki hoibe gati
You are the only source of good fortune in this world, and You are its master. Please instruct me as to my true goal and resting place.
5)
bhāviyā dekhinu ei jagata mājhāre
tomā vinā keho nāhi e dāse uddhāre
tomā vinā keho nāhi e dāse uddhāre
I have seen and considered this whole world, and without You, Kṛṣṇa, there is nothing that can save me.
