I alone await the ferry. The Friend sits on are boat's planks. At this hour of crisis, No one but you can save me.
- Verse 1
āmi ekā roilām ghāṭe bhanu se bośilen pāte (āmi) tomā bin e ghor śoṅkote nā dekhi upāy
ami eka roilam ghate bhanu se bosilen pate (ami) toma bin e ghor sonkote na dekhi upay
आमि एका रोइलाम घाटे भनु से बोशिलेन पाते (आमि) तोमा बिन ए घोर शोङ्कोते ना देखि उपाय
I alone await the ferry. The Friend sits on are boat's planks. At this hour of crisis, No one but you can save me.
- Verse 2
nāhi āmār bhajan śādhan cīrodīn bipathe gaman nām śunechi patita pāvana tāi to dei dohāi
nahi amar bhajan sadhan cirodin bipathe gaman nam sunechi patita pavana tai to dei dohai
नाहि आमार भजन शाधन चीरोदीन बिपथे गमन नाम शुनेछि पतित पावन ताइ तो देइ दोहाइ
I did not practice regulations, nor have I done bhajan. Every day, I tread on the path of destruction. I take the name of the Redeemer of the Fallen. That's why I crave Your mercy,
- Verse 3
agatir na dile gati oi nāme rabe akhyati lālon koy akuler pati lālon koy adhamer prati ke bolbe tomāy
agatir na dile gati oi name rabe akhyati lalon koy akuler pati lalon koy adhamer prati ke bolbe tomay
अगतिर न दिले गति ओइ नामे रबे अख्यति लालोन कोय अकुलेर पति लालोन कोय अधमेर प्रति के बोल्बे तोमाय
If you don't help redeem me, then Your name (as the Redeemer of the Fallen) will be a misnomer. The one without a family and poor Lalon, “In that event, no one will call You, the Redeemer of the Fallen”
