Hari He Doyāl Mor
"Humility and Devotional Surrender"
an anonymous Vaiṣṇava poet
(1)
hari he doyāl mor jaya rādhā-nāth
bāro bāro ei-bāro loho nija sāth
O Hari! O my merciful Lord! All glories to You, O Lord of Rādhā! Again and again I have pleaded with You, and now I beg You yet again to accept me as Your own.
(2)
bahu yoni bhrami' nātha! loinu śaraṇ
nija-gue kṛpā koro' adhama-tāraṇ
O Lord! Hopelessly taking birth over and over, I have now come to You for refuge. Please show Your merciful nature and deliver this wretched soul.
(3)
jagata-kāraṇa tumi jagata-jīvan
tomā chāḍā kār nāhi he rādhā-ramaṇ
You are the cause of the universe, and its very life. Other than You, O lover of Rādhā, there is no shelter.
(4)
bhuvana-maṅgala tumi bhuvaner pati
tumi upekhile nātha, ki hoibe gati
You bring about auspiciousness for the world, and You are the master of all the worlds as well. O Lord, what will become of me if You forsake me?
(5)
bhāviyā dekhinu ei jagata-mājhāre
tomā binā keho nāhi e dāse uddhāre
I have understood, after contemplating my predicament, that within this world there is no one who can deliver this servant but You.
