1
manasa, deho, geho, jo kichu mor
arpilu tuwa pade, nanda-kisor!
Mind, body, and family, whatever may be mine, I have surrendered at Your lotus feet, O youthful son of Nanda!
2
sampade vipade, jivane-marane
day mama gela, tuwa o-pada barane
In good fortune or in bad, in life or at death, all my difficulties have disappeared by choosing those feet of Yours as my only shelter.
3
marobirakhobi - jo iccha tohara
nitya-dasa prati tuwa adhikara
Slay me or protect me as You wish, for You are the master of Your eternal servant.
4
janmaobi moe iccha jadi tor
bhakta-grhe jani janma hau mor
If it is Your will that I be born again, then may it be in the home of Your devotee.
5
kita-janma hau jatha tuwa das
bahir-mukha brahma-janme nahi as
May I be born again even as a worm, so long as I may remain Your devotee. I have no desire to be born as a Brahma averse to You.
6
bhukti-mukti-sprha vihina je bhakta
labhaite tako sanga anurakta
I yearn for the company of that devotee who is completely devoid of all desire for worldly enjoyment or liberation.
7
janaka, janani, dayita, tanay
prabhu, guru, pati--tuhu sarva-moy
Father, mother, lover, son, Lord, preceptor, and husband; You are everything to me.
8
bhakatvinoda kohe, suno kana!
radha-natha! tuhu hamara parana
Thakura Bhaktivinoda says, "O Krishna, please hear me! O Lord of Radha, You are my life and soul."
