    Taking refuge at Your lotus feet, now I will become fearless, O Lord! I will cross the ocean of miseries by the boat of Your Holy Name.

  2. Verse 1

    tomār caraṇa śaraṇa kori abhoy ei bār ho’bo hari duḥkha sāgor jābo tori tori kari tomār nām

    tomar carana sarana kori abhoy ei bar ho’bo hari duhkha sagor jabo tori tori kari tomar nam

    तोमार चरण शरण कोरि अभोय एइ बार होऽबो हरि दुःख सागोर जाबो तोरि तोरि करि तोमार नाम

  3. Verse 2

    āmarā paḍi ghumāy prabhu tomār nitya jāgaran kṣane kṣane ghaṭāo ye bhūl cakṣe moder āvaraṇ

    amara padi ghumay prabhu tomar nitya jagaran ksane ksane ghatao ye bhul cakse moder avaran

    आमरा पडि घुमाय प्रभु तोमार नित्य जागरन क्षने क्षने घटाओ ये भूल चक्षे मोदेर आवरण

    O Lord, we have fallen into sleep, while You are ever awake. Every moment we can only make errors, our eyes being covered by illusion.

  4. Verse 3

    sei āvaraṇ ghucāo hari dārāo yugāl mūrti dhari dekhi tomāy nayana bhari pūrṇa kori manuśkām

    sei avaran ghucao hari darao yugal murti dhari dekhi tomay nayana bhari purna kori manuskam

    सेइ आवरण घुचाओ हरि दाराओ युगाल मूर्ति धरि देखि तोमाय नयन भरि पूर्ण कोरि मनुश्काम

    Please remove this covering, my Lord, so I may behold Your form as the Divine Couple, with Sri Radha by Your side. I will gaze at You until my hankering eyes are pacified, thus fulfilling my soul’s desire.
