  1. Verse 1

    ki jāni ki bale, tomāra dhāmete, hoinu śaraṇāgata tumi doyā-moy, patita-pāvana, patita-tāraṇe rata

    ki jani ki bale, tomara dhamete, hoinu saranagata tumi doya-moy, patita-pavana, patita-tarane rata

    कि जानि कि बले, तोमार धामेते, होइनु शरणागत तुमि दोयामोय्, पतितपावन, पतिततारणे रत

    How has one such as I come to Your shelter? Surely it is by Your mercy alone, for You are everseeking the purification and deliverance of the fallen souls.

  2. Verse 2

    bharasā āmāra, ei mātra nātha! tumi to’ karunā-moy tava doyā-pātra, nāhi mora sama, avaśya ghucābe bhoy

    bharasa amara, ei matra natha! tumi to’ karuna-moy tava doya-patra, nahi mora sama, avasya ghucabe bhoy

    भरसा आमार, एइ मात्र नाथ! तुमि तोऽ करुनामोय तव दोयापात्र, नाहि मोर सम, अवश्य घुचाबे भोय

    You are my only hope, for You are full of compassion and mercy. There is no one who needs Your mercy more than I. You will surely drive away all fear.

  3. Verse 3

    āmāre tārite, kāhāro śakati, avanī-bhitore nāhi doyāla ṭhākura! ghoṣanā tomāra, adhama pāmare trāhi

    amare tarite, kaharo sakati, avani-bhitore nahi doyala thakura! ghosana tomara, adhama pamare trahi

    आमारे तारिते, काहारो शकति, अवनीभितोरे नाहि दोयाल ठाकुर! घोषना तोमार, अधम पामरे त्राहि

    No one else has the power to deliver me. O merciful Lord, by Your declaration, kindly deliver this vile and lowly sinner.

  4. Verse 4

    sakala chāḍiyā, āsiyāchi āmi, tomāra caraṇe nātha! āmi nitya-dāsa, tumi pālayitā, tumi goptā, jagannātha!

    sakala chadiya, asiyachi ami, tomara carane natha! ami nitya-dasa, tumi palayita, tumi gopta, jagannatha!

    सकल छाडिया, आसियाछि आमि, तोमार चरणे नाथ! आमि नित्यदास, तुमि पालयिता, तुमि गोप्ता, जगन्नाथ!

    I have given up everything and come to Your lotus feet. I am Your eternal servant, and You are my protector and maintainer, O Lord of the universe!

  5. Verse 5

    tomāra sakala, āmi mātra dāsa, āmāra tāribe tumi tomāra caraṇa, korinu varaṇa, āmāra nāhi to’ āmi

    tomara sakala, ami matra dasa, amara taribe tumi tomara carana, korinu varana, amara nahi to’ ami

    तोमार सकल, आमि मात्र दास, आमार तारिबे तुमि तोमार चरण, कोरिनु वरण, आमार नाहि तोऽ आमि

    Everything is Yours. I am merely a servant, certain that You will deliver me. I have chosen Your lotus feet as my only shelter. I no longer belong to myself.

  6. Verse 6

    bhakativinoda, kāṅdiyā śaraṇa, lo’yeche tomāra pāy kṣami’ aparādha, nāme ruci diyā, pālana korohe tāy

    bhakativinoda, kandiya sarana, lo’yeche tomara pay ksami’ aparadha, name ruci diya, palana korohe tay

    भकतिविनोद, काङ्दिया शरण, लोऽयेछे तोमार पाय क्षमिऽ अपराध, नामे रुचि दिया, पालन कोरोहे ताय

    Weeping, Bhaktivinoda takes shelter at Your feet. Forgive his offenses, afford him a taste for the holy name, and kindly maintain him.
