- Verse 1
anādi’ karama-phale, poḍi’ bhavārnava-jale, toribāre nā dekhi upāy e-viṣaya-halāhale, divā-niśi hiyā jwale, mana kabhu sukha nāhi pāy
anadi’ karama-phale, podi’ bhavarnava-jale, toribare na dekhi upay e-visaya-halahale, diva-nisi hiya jwale, mana kabhu sukha nahi pay
अनादिऽ करमफले, पोडिऽ भवार्नवजले, तोरिबारे ना देखि उपाय एविषयहलाहले, दिवानिशि हिया ज्wअले, मन कभु सुख नाहि पाय
I have fallen into the ocean of material existence as a result of my selfish activities, which are without beginning, and I see no means of deliverance from this great ocean of nescience. Day and night my heart burns from the poison of these worldly activities, and on account of this my mind never finds any satisfaction or happiness.
- Verse 2
āśā-pāśa-śata-śata, kleśa deya avirata, pravṛtti-ūrmira tāhe khelā kāma-krodha-ādi choy, bāṭapāḍe deya bhoy, avasāna hoilo āsi’ belā
asa-pasa-sata-sata, klesa deya avirata, pravrtti-urmira tahe khela kama-krodha-adi choy, batapade deya bhoy, avasana hoilo asi’ bela
आशापाशशतशत, क्लेश देय अविरत, प्रवृत्तिऊर्मिर ताहे खेला कामक्रोधआदि छोय्, बाटपाडे देय भोय्, अवसान होइलो आसिऽ बेला
Hundreds and thousands of desires, like nooses around my neck, constantly give me misery and trouble. In that great ocean of nescience play the waves of materialistic tendency. In this world there are many thieves and rogues, of whom six are prominent; lust, anger, greed, illusion, and madness. They are causing me great fear, and in this way my life is coming to an end.
- Verse 3
jñāna-karma—ṭhaga dui, more pratārīya loi, avaśeṣe phele sindhu-jale e heno samaye, bandhu, tumi kṛṣṇa kṛpā-sindhu, kṛpā kori’ tolo more bale
jnana-karma—thaga dui, more pratariya loi, avasese phele sindhu-jale e heno samaye, bandhu, tumi krsna krpa-sindhu, krpa kori’ tolo more bale
ज्ञानकर्म—ठग दुइ, मोरे प्रतारीय लोइ, अवशेषे फेले सिन्धुजले ए हेनो समये, बन्धु, तुमि कृष्ण कृपासिन्धु, कृपा कोरिऽ तोलो मोरे बले
The two highway robbers, mental speculation and fruitive activity, have cheated me and misled me, and finally they are throwing me into the ocean of misery. At such a time as this, my dear Krsna, You are the only friend, and You are the ocean of mercy and compassion. I have no strength to get out of this ocean of nescience, so I pray to Your lotus feet that You will be kind and by Your strength uplift me from this ocean of suffering.
- Verse 4
patita-kiṅkore dhori’, pāda-padma-dhuli kori’, deho bhaktivinode āśroy āmi tava nitya-dās, bhuliyā māyāra pāś, baddha ho’ye āchi doyāmoy
patita-kinkore dhori’, pada-padma-dhuli kori’, deho bhaktivinode asroy ami tava nitya-das, bhuliya mayara pas, baddha ho’ye achi doyamoy
पतितकिङ्कोरे धोरिऽ, पादपद्मधुलि कोरिऽ, देहो भक्तिविनोदे आश्रोय आमि तव नित्यदास्, भुलिया मायार पाश्, बद्ध होऽये आछि दोयामोय
Accept this fallen servant and fix me as a particle of dust on Your lotus feet. Kindly give me shelter to this Bhaktivinoda. O most merciful Lord, actually I am Your eternal servant, but having forgotten this I have become bound up in the network of maya.
