हे करुणा के सागर! कभी मेरी सुधि लेना।
Hey karuna ke sagar, kabhi meri sudhi lena
O Ocean of Grace! Please remember me once in a while!

निज चरण कमल रज की, कणिका करि सुधि लेना ।।
Nij charan kamal raj kee, kanika kari sudhi lena.
Considering me a speck of dust under Your lotus feet, please remember me once in a while!

अपराधी हूँ तुम्हरी, कैसे कुछ विनय करूँ ।
Apradhi hoon tumhari, kaise kuch vinay karoon,
Having sinned against You, I am ashamed to request anything of You.

पतितों की गणना में, मेरी भी सुधि लेना ।।
Patiton kee garna main, meri bhi sudhi lena.
When You are making the list of all the sinners, a tleast at that time, please also think of me. 

नहिं साधन का बल है, नहिं सेवा का धन है ।
Nahin sadhan ka bal hai, nahin seva ka dhan hai,
I have no ability to perform spiritual practices, nor can I offer a wealth of service to You.

मेरे प्रेम शून्य मन पर, झुँझला कर सुधि लेना ।।
Mere prem shoonya man par, jhunjhla kar sudhi lena.
In spite of trying so hard, my mind is still devoid of devotional love. Even though You are upset at my pathetic state, please remember me!

हे करुणा के सागर! कभी मेरी सुधि लेना।
Hey karuna ke sagar, kabhi meri sudhi lena
O Ocean of Grace! Please remember me once in a while.

 मेरे प्रभु तुमही हो, पितु मात तुमहीं बस हो ।
Mere prabhu tum hi ho, pitu mat tumhi bas ho,
You alone are my Lord, You alone are my father and mother. You alone are my everything.

मेरे भाग्य विधाता हो, जब चाहो सुधि लेना ।।
Mere bhagya vidhata ho, jab chaho sudhi lena.
You are the Creator of my destiny, whenever You wish please grace me (I am not demanding that You grace me right now).

हे करुणा के सागर, कभी मेरी सुधि लेना।
Hey karuna ke sagar, kabhi meri sudhi lena
O Ocean of Grace! Please remember me once in a while.

मेरे मन में समा जाओ, रग रग में समा जाओ ।
Mere man mein sama jao, rag rag mein sama jaao,
Permeate my mind and every pore of my being with Your presence.

निज धाम बना मन को, जब चाहो सुधि लेना ।।
Nij dham bana man ko, jab chaho sudhi lena.
As my final request, please make my mind Your dwelling place. Then, I won't mind if You do or don't grace me.

हे करुणा के सागर! कभी मेरी सुधि लेना।
Hey karuna ke sagar, kabhi meri sudhi lena
O Ocean of Grace! Please think of me once in a while!

निज चरण कमल रज की, कणिका करि सुधि लेना ।।
Nij charan kamal raj kee, kanika kari sudhi lena.
Considering me a speck of dust under Your lotus feet, please remember me sometime!
