By Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur
sarvasva tomara, | charane sapiya, |
padechhi tomara ghare |
tumi ta' thakura, | tomara kukkura, |
baliya janaha more [1] |
I have offered everything at Your feet and taken shelter in Your home. You
are my Master; please consider me Your dog.
badhiya nikate, | amare palibe, |
rahiba tomara dvare |
pratipa-janere, | asite na diba, |
rakhiba gadera pare [2] |
You will tie me up nearby and maintain me. I will remain at Your doorstep.
I will not allow any inimical persons to enter; I will keep them on the far
side of Your moat.
tava nija-jana, | prasada seviya, |
uchchhista rakhibe yaha |
amara bhojana, | parama-anande, |
prati-dina habe taha [3] |
Whatever remnants Your devotees leave behind after honouring Your prasad
I will eat every day with great joy.
basiya suiya, | tomara charana |
chintiba satata ami |
nachite nachite, | nikate yaiba, |
yakhana dakibe tumi [4] |
While sitting up or lying down, I will always think of Your feet. I will come
to You whenever You call me, dancing all the way.
nijera posana, | kabhu na bhaviba, |
rahiba bhavera bhare |
bhakati-vinoda, | tomare palaka, |
baliya varana kare [5] |
I will never think about my own maintenance; I will always remain within the
shelter of loving attachment for You. Bhakti Vinod embraces You as his
maintainer.
