अर्थ
By the fault of my own karma I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. How long must I struggle to keep from drowning? Swimming and swimming, I cannot find the end of this ocean. The huge ocean of birth and death has no end.
nimagna hoinu jabe ḍākinu kātara rabe
keho more koroho uddhāra
sei kāle āile tumi tomā jāni' kūla-bhūmi
āśā-bīja hoilo āmāra
अर्थ
Drowning, I screamed, "Someone save me!" At that moment You came. I knew You could take me to the shore. The seed of hope was planted within me.
tumi hari doyāmoya pāile more su-niścoya
sarbottama doyāra biṣoya
tomāke nā chāḍi' āra e bhaktibinoda chāra
doyā-pātre pāile doyāmoya
अर्थ
O merciful Lord Kṛṣṇa, now You have found me. O most merciful Lord, I will never leave You. O merciful Lord, now You have found Bhaktivinoda, who is worthless like a pile of ashes
and who desperately needs Your mercy.
