(refrain)

āmi opār hoy bośeyachī ohe doyamoy!

pāre loye jāo āmāy

lālon koy akuler pati

lālon koy adhamer prati

ke bolbe tomāy

TRANSLATION

Refrain: I am at the other site over the shore, Merciful Lord! I'm in no state to make the crossing! Please ferry me to the other side.

1) I alone await the ferry. The Friend sits on are boat's planks. At this hour of crisis, No one but you can save me.

2) I did not practice regulations, nor have I done bhajan. Every day, I tread on the path of destruction. I take the name of the Redeemer of the Fallen. That's why I crave Your mercy,

3) If you don't help redeem me, then Your name (as the Redeemer of the Fallen) will be a misnomer. The one without a family and poor Lalon, “In that event, no one will call You, the Redeemer of the Fallen”
