- Verse 1
bastutaḥ sakali tava, jīva keho noy `aham’-`mama’-bhrame bhromi’ bhoge śoka-bhoy
bastutah sakali tava, jiva keho noy `aham’-`mama’-bhrame bhromi’ bhoge soka-bhoy
बस्तुतः सकलि तव, जीव केहो नोय `अहम्ऽ`ममऽभ्रमे भ्रोमिऽ भोगे शोकभोय
In truth, all things belong to You. No jiva is owner of anything. The tiny soul wanders in this world mistakenly thinking, “I am this transitory body, and everything related to this body is mine.” Thus he suffers sorrow and fear.
- Verse 2
ahaṁ-mama-abhimāna ei-mātro dhan baddha-jīva nija boli’ jāne mane man
aham-mama-abhimana ei-matro dhan baddha-jiva nija boli’ jane mane man
अहंममअभिमान एइमात्रो धन बद्धजीव निज बोलिऽ जाने मने मन
The conditioned soul is falsely proud and considers everything attached to the words “I” and “mine” to be his treasures alone.
- Verse 3
sei abhimāne āmi saṁsāre poḍiyā hābuḍubu khāi bhava-sindhu sāṅtāriyā
sei abhimane ami samsare podiya habudubu khai bhava-sindhu santariya
सेइ अभिमाने आमि संसारे पोडिया हाबुडुबु खाइ भवसिन्धु साङ्तारिया
Due to that same vanity, I fell into this world. Floundering in the ocean of mundane existence like a drowning man, I suffer the pangs of rising and sinking in that ocean.
- Verse 4
tomāra abhoya-pade loiyā śaraṇ āji āmi korilāma ātma-nivedan
tomara abhoya-pade loiya saran aji ami korilama atma-nivedan
तोमार अभोयपदे लोइया शरण आजि आमि कोरिलाम आत्मनिवेदन
I take shelter at Your lotus feet, which award fearlessness, and dedicate myself to You on this day.
- Verse 5
`ahaṁ’-`mama’-abhimāna chāḍilo āmāy ār jeno mama hṛde stāna nāhi pāy
`aham’-`mama’-abhimana chadilo amay ar jeno mama hrde stana nahi pay
`अहंऽ`ममऽअभिमान छाडिलो आमाय आर जेनो मम हृदे स्तान नाहि पाय
The vanity of “I” and “mine” has left me now. May it never again find a place within my heart.
- Verse 6
ei mātro bala prabhu! dibe he āmāre ahaṁtā-mamatā dūre pāri rākhibāre
ei matro bala prabhu! dibe he amare ahamta-mamata dure pari rakhibare
एइ मात्रो बल प्रभु! दिबे हे आमारे अहंताममता दूरे पारि राखिबारे
O Lord, please give me this strength, that I may be able to keep the false conceptions of “I” and “Mine” far away.
- Verse 7
ātma-nivedana-bhāva hṛde dṛḍha roy hasti-snāna sama jeno khanika nā hoy
atma-nivedana-bhava hrde drdha roy hasti-snana sama jeno khanika na hoy
आत्मनिवेदनभाव हृदे दृढ रोय हस्तिस्नान सम जेनो खनिक ना होय
May the mood of self-surrender to the Supreme Lord remain firmly fixed in my heart and not prove to be like the momentary cleanliness of an elephant after a bath.
- Verse 8
bhakativinoda prabhu nityānanda pāy māge parasāda, jāhe abhimāna jāy
bhakativinoda prabhu nityananda pay mage parasada, jahe abhimana jay
भकतिविनोद प्रभु नित्यानन्द पाय मागे परसाद, जाहे अभिमान जाय
Bhaktivinoda begs at the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda for the grace which delivers one from all false pride.
