Gurudev!

kåpä-bindu diyä
 gurudev!
kåpä-bindu diyä, koro' ei däse,
tåëäpekhä ati héna
sakala sahane, bala diyä koro',
nija-mäne spåhä-héna

Gurudeva! With a drop of mercy make this servant of

yours humbler than a blade of grass. Give me the
strength to bear all trials troubles, and free me from all
desire for honor.
 sakale sammäna korite çakati,
deho' nätha! Jathäjatha
tabe to' gäibo, hari-näma-sukhe,
aparädha ha 'be hata

O lord and master! Please invest me with the

power to honor all living beings properly. Only
then will I sing the holy name in great ecstasy,
free of offenses.
 kabe heno kåpä, labhiyä e jana,
kåtärtha hoibe, nätha!
çakti-buddhi-héna, ämi ati déna,
koro' more ätma-sätha

O lord and master! When will such mercy fall to

this weak and foolish devotee? Please make me
your beloved servant.
 jogyatä-vicäre, kichu nähi päi,
tomära karuëä-sära
karuëä nä hoile, kändiyä kändiyä,
präëa nä räkhibo ära

When I examine myself, I find nothing of value.

Therefore your mercy is essential to me. If you
are notmerciful, I shall simply weep and weep,
and I shall not
maintain my life.
