Gurudeva
- gurudeva!
- kṛpā-bindu diyā kara’ ei dāse
- tṛṇāpekṣā ati dīna
- sakala-sahane bala diyā kara
- nija-māne spṛhā-hīna
-
O Gurudev! Give this servant a drop of your mercy, and make me more humble than a blade of grass. Give me the strength to tolerate everything, and make me free from any desire for personal honour.

O master! Give me the ability to befittingly honour everyone. Then I will sing the Lord’s Name happily, and all my offences will be eradicated.

- kabe hena kṛpā labhiyā e jana
- kṛtārtha ha-ibe, nātha!
- śakti-buddhi-hīna āmi ati dīna
- kara more ātma-sātha

When will this soul attain such mercy and become fulfilled? O master! I am devoid of ability and intelligence, and greatly distressed. Please accept me.

- tomāra karuṇā-sāra
- karuṇā nā ha-ile kā̐diyā kā̐diyā
- prāṇa nā rākhiba āra

When I examine myself for qualifications, I find none. Your mercy is everything. If you are not merciful to me, then, crying, I will no longer maintain my life.
