Bhajan | Narottama Dasa Thakura

tathāpi ha tūmi gati nā chaḍiha prāṇa-pati
mūñi sama nāhika adhamā

sebā diyā kara anūcara
Verse 5
kāme mora hata cita nāhi jāne nija hita

Verse 6
mo-sama patita nāi tribhūvane dekha cāi

ghūṣūka saṁsāre nāma patita-pāvana śyāma
nija-dāsa kara giridhara
Verse 7
narottama baḍa dūḥkhī nātha more kara sūkhī
tomāra bhajana saṅkīrtane
antarāya nāhi jāya ei ta parama bhaya
nivedana karoṅ anūkṣana
Verse 1
O Lord, You are the ocean of mercy, the friend of the poor. Please mercifully glance towards me. I have fallen into the ocean of illusion where whales in the form of lust are trying to swallow me. Please protect me, O Lord!
Verse 2
Since my birth, I have committed unlimited offenses and have not worshiped You without duplicity. Nevertheless, You are my only shelter. O Lord of my life, please do not neglect me, there is none more fallen than me.
Verse 3
O Lord Śyāmasundara, You are known as the saviour of the fallen. If You neglect me, I have no alternative. Even if I be an offender, You are my only hope, just as the husband is the only hope for a chaste wife.
Verse 4
O Lord of my heart, please hear my prayer. You are the Supreme Lord. Please do not reject me. Even if I commit offenses, still You are my only protector. Please give me some insignificant service and consider me Your own servant.
Verse 5
My heart is pierced by lusty desires and so I do not know what is beneficial for me. I cannot vanquish the material desires in my polluted mind. O my Lord, You are the wish fulfilling desire tree. Please accept and purify me and let everyone see Your mercy.
Verse 6
O my Lord, please look throughout the three worlds, there is no one more fallen than me. Be celebrated as “the deliverer of Narottama.” Throughout the three worlds of birth and death, let it be known that Lord Śyāmasundara is the deliverer of the fallen souls. Therefore, O Giridhari, make me Your own servant.
Verse 7
O Lord, Narottama is very unhappy. Please make me happy by inspiring me to perform saṅkīrtana. My greatest fear is that I will not be able to surpass the impediments on the path of devotional service. Hence, I pray to You constantly.
