- Verse 1
gaurāṅga karuṇā koro dīna hīna jane mosamo patita prabhu nāhi tribhūvane
gauranga karuna koro dina hina jane mosamo patita prabhu nahi tribhuvane
गौराङ्ग करुणा कोरो दीन हीन जने मोसमो पतित प्रभु नाहि त्रिभूवने
O my dear Lord Gauranga! Please show Your mercy to this lowly and destitute soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen than myself in all the three worlds.
- Verse 2
dante tṛṇa dhari gaura ḍāki he tomāre kṛpā kari eso āmār hṛdaya mandire
dante trna dhari gaura daki he tomare krpa kari eso amar hrdaya mandire
दन्ते तृण धरि गौर डाकि हे तोमारे कृपा करि एसो आमार हृदय मन्दिरे
Holding grass between my teeth, O Lord Gaura, I am calling out to You now! Please be compassionate upon me and come to reside within the temple of my heart.
- Verse 3
jadi dayā nā karibe patita dekhiyā patita pāvana nāma kisera lāgiyā
jadi daya na karibe patita dekhiya patita pavana nama kisera lagiya
जदि दया ना करिबे पतित देखिया पतित पावन नाम किसेर लागिया
If You do not give Your mercy, seeing how fallen I am, then why are You known as Patita Pavana, the merciful Savior of the fallen?
- Verse 4
paḍechi bhava tuphāne nāhika nistāra śrī caraṇa taraṇī dāne dāse kara pāra
padechi bhava tuphane nahika nistara sri carana tarani dane dase kara para
पडेछि भव तुफाने नाहिक निस्तार श्री चरण तरणी दाने दासे कर पार
I am plunged amidst the violent hurricane-stricken waves in the ocean of this material world, from which there is no escape. Kindly give me the gift of Your divine lotus feet, which are compared to a boat in which Your servant may cross over the ocean of birth and death.
- Verse 5
śrī kṛṣṇa caitanya prabhu dāser anudāsa prārthanā karaye sadā narottama dāsa
sri krsna caitanya prabhu daser anudasa prarthana karaye sada narottama dasa
श्री कृष्ण चैतन्य प्रभु दासेर अनुदास प्रार्थना करये सदा नरोत्तम दास
Narottama Dasa, the servant of the servant of Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya Prabhu, ceaselessly makes this prayer.
