gurudev!
boḍo kṛpā kori’, gauḍa-vana mājhe,
godrume diyācho sthāna
ājñā dila more, ei braje bosi’,
hari-nāma koro gāna
(2)
kintu kabe prabhu, yogyatā arpibe,
e dāsere doyā kori’
citta sthira habe, sakala sohibo,
ekānte bhajibo hari
(3)
śaiśava-yauvane, jaḍa-sukha-sańge,
abhyāsa hoilo manda
nija-karma-doṣe, e deho hoilo,
bhajanera pratibandha
(4)
vārdhakye ekhona, pañca-roge hata,
kemone bhojibo bolo’
kāńdiyā kāńdiyā, tomāra caraṇe,
poḍiyāchi suvihvala

TRANSLATION
1) Gurudeva! Because you are so merciful, you gave me a place in Godruma amid the woodlands of Gauda, with this order to fulfill: “Dwell here in this Vrndavana and sing the holy name of Hari.”
2) But when, O master, out of your great mercy, will you bestow upon this servant of yours the spiritual competence to fulfill that order? When will my mind become tranquil and fixed? When will I endure all hardships and serve Lord Hari without distractions?
3) Due to attachment to worldly pleasures in childhood and youth, I have developed bad habits. Because of these sinful acts my body has become an impediment to the service of the Supreme Lord.
4) Now, in old age, afflicted by the five-fold illnesses, how will I serve the Lord? O master, please tell me. I have fallen at your feet weeping, overwhelmed by anxiety.

gurudeva!
kṛpā-bindu diyā, koro’ ei dāse
tṛṇāpekhā ati hīna
sakala-sahane, bolo diyā koro
nija māne spṛhā-hīna
(2)
sakale sammān, korite śakati
deho’ nātha! jathājatha
tabe to’ gāibo, harināma-sukhe
aparādha ha ‘be hata
(3)
kabe heno kṛpā, lobhiyā e jana
kṛtārtha hoibe, nātha!
śakti-buddhi-hīn, āmi ati dīn
koro’ more ātma-sātha
(4)
jogyatā-vicāre, kichu nāhi pāi
tomāra karuṇā sāra
karuṇā nā hoile, kāṇḍiyā kāṇḍiyā
prāṇa nā rākhibo āra
TRANSLATION
1) Gurudeva, give to this servant just one drop of mercy. I am lower than a blade of grass. Give me all help. Give me strength. Let me be as you are, without desires or aspirations.
2) I offer you all respects, for thus I may have the energy to know you correctly. Then, by chanting the holy name in great ecstasy, all my offenses will cease.
3) When will such mercy fall to this one who is weak and devoid of intelligence? Allow me to be with you.
4) If you examine me, you will find no qualities. Your mercy is all that I am made of. If you are not merciful unto me, I can only weep, and I will not be able to maintain my life.

Gurudev!
