  1. Verse 1

    (refrain) śrī guru-caraṇa-kamala bhaja man

    (refrain) sri guru-carana-kamala bhaja man

    (रेfरैन्) श्री गुरुचरणकमल भज मन

    Without receiving the mercy of the pure devotee, one will not have the potency to execute regulative spiritual practices. Therefore, O my dear mind, I urge you to worship him, please worship him at every moment.

  2. Verse 1

    guru-kṛpā vinā nāhiṅ koi sādhana-bal, bhaja man bhaja anukṣaṇ

    guru-krpa vina nahin koi sadhana-bal, bhaja man bhaja anuksan

    गुरुकृपा विना नाहिङ कोइ साधनबल्, भज मन भज अनुक्षण

    Without receiving the mercy of the pure devotee, one will not have the potency to execute regulative spiritual practices. Therefore, O my dear mind, I urge you to worship him, please worship him at every moment.

  3. Verse 2

    milatā nahi aisā durlabha janama, bhramatahū caudaha bhuvana kisī ko milte haiṅ aho bhāgya se, hari-bhaktoṅ ke daraśan

    milata nahi aisa durlabha janama, bhramatahu caudaha bhuvana kisi ko milte hain aho bhagya se, hari-bhakton ke darasan

    मिलता नहि ऐसा दुर्लभ जनम, भ्रमतहू चौदह भुवन किसी को मिल्ते हैङ अहो भाग्य से, हरिभक्तोङ के दरशन

    O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the bonafide spiritual master. While the fallen soul wanders throughout the fourteen worlds, it rarely gets an opportunity to receive a human birth. And out of so many human beings, only a few receive the great fortune of meeting the devotees of Lord Hari.

  4. Verse 3

    kṛṣṇa-kṛpā kī ānanda mūrti, dīna-jana karuṇā-nidān bhakti bhāva prem – tīna prakāśata, śrī guru patita pāvan

    krsna-krpa ki ananda murti, dina-jana karuna-nidan bhakti bhava prem – tina prakasata, sri guru patita pavan

    कृष्णकृपा की आनन्द मूर्ति, दीनजन करुणानिदान भक्ति भाव प्रेम – तीन प्रकाशत, श्री गुरु पतित पावन

    O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the bonafide spiritual master. Sri Guru is the personification of the bliss inherent in Krsna’s causeless mercy, and he is therefore the abode of mercy for souls who are suffering in the material world. He is the revealer of transcendental knowledge, pure devotion, and divine love. Sri Guru is the savior of fallen conditioned souls.

  5. Verse 4

    śruti smṛti aur purānana māhi, kīno spaṣṭa pramāṇ tana-mana-jīvana, guru-pade arpaṇa, sadā śrī harīnāma raṭan

    sruti smrti aur puranana mahi, kino spasta praman tana-mana-jivana, guru-pade arpana, sada sri harinama ratan

    श्रुति स्मृति और पुरानन माहि, कीनो स्पष्ट प्रमाण तनमनजीवन, गुरुपदे अर्पण, सदा श्री हरीनाम रटन

    O mind, just worship the lotus feet of the bonafide spiritual master. His glories are clearly confirmed by the assembly of sruti sastras, smrti-sastras, as well as in the commentaries of the great acaryas. Just offer your body, mind, and life itself at the lotus feet of Sri Guru and always remain engaged in the chanting of Hari Nama.
