Verse 1

कबे हवे बोलो से-दिन आमार ?
अपराध घुचि’, शुद्ध नामे रुचि,
कृपा-बले हवे हृदये सञ्चार ॥

kabe have bolo se-dina āmāra?
aparādha ghuci’, śuddha nāme ruci,
kṛpā-bale have hṛdaye sañcāra

Tell me, when will that day be mine? When, with all offenses eradicated, a genuine taste for the pure Holy Name will arise within my heart by the strength of divine mercy?

Verse 2

तृणाधिक हीन, कबे निजे मानि’,
सहिष्णुता-गुण हृदयेते आनि’ ।
सकले मानद, आपनि अमानी,
ह’ये आस्वादिब नाम-रस-खानि ॥

tṛṇādhika hīna, kabe nije māni’,
sahiṣṇutā-guṇa hṛdayete āni’
sakale mānada, āpani amānī,
ha’ye āsvādiba nāma-rasa-khāni

When, considering myself more humble than a blade of grass, and welcoming tolerance into my heart, offering all respect to others without seeking prestige for myself, will I taste the priceless mine of the nectar of the Name?
