Verse 1

एमन दुर्मति, संसार भितरे,
पडिया आछिनु आमि ।
तव निज-जन, कोनो महाजने,
पाठाया दिला प्रभु तुमि ॥

emana durmati, saṁsāra bhitore,
paḍiyā āchinu āmi
tava nija-jana, kono mahājane,
pāṭhāyā dilā prabhu tumi

Possessing such a wicked mind, I was drowning within this material world. But You, O Lord, sent one of Your intimate devotees to save me.

Verse 2

दया करि’ मोरे, वलिल से-जन,
‘छाडह विषय-जाल ।
भजह गोविन्द, लभह आनन्द,
हरि-पद चिर-काल’ ॥

dayā kari’ more, valila se-jana,
‘chāḍaha viṣaya-jāla
bhajaha govinda, labhaha ānanda,
hari-pada cira-kāla’

Mercifully, that great soul told me: "Abandon the snare of worldly objects! Worship Govinda, attain divine bliss, and take shelter of Hari's feet forever."

Verse 3

भकतिविनोद, काँदिया कहय,
तुमि शरण-पालक ।
करह उद्धार, पतित-पावन,
आमि तोमार बालक ॥

bhakativinoda, kāṅdiyā kahaya,
tumi śaraṇa-pālaka
karaha uddhāra, patita-pāvana,
āmi tomāra bālaka

Bhaktivinoda weeps and says: "You are the protector of the surrendered. Deliver me, O savior of the fallen, for I am Your child."
