LYRICS:

(refrain)

itnā to karnā svāmi, jab prāṇa tan se nikale

govinda nāma leke, tab prāṇa tan se nikale

 

(1)

śri gańgā jī kā taṭa ho yamunā kā vaḿśī-vaṭa ho

mera sāńvarā nikaṭa ho jab prāṇa tan se nikale

 

(2)

pītāmbarī kasī ho chavī man meń ye basī ho

hońṭon pe kuch hasī ho jab prāṇa tan se nikale

 

(3)

jab kaṇṭha prāṇa āye koī roga nā satāye

yama darasa na dikhāye jab prāṇa tan se nikale

 

(4)

us waqt jaldi ānā nahiń śyām bhūla jānā

rādhe ko sātha lānā jab prāṇa tan se nikale

 

(5)

ek bhakta kī haiń arzī khudgarz kī haiń garzī

āge tumharī marzī jab prāṇa tan se nikale

 

TRANSLATION

(Refrain) Oh Lord, Please do this much, when the soul leaves my body, that I take Your beautiful name of Govinda.

 

1) Whether it be the Holy Ganges River, or the Yamuna River where Lord Krsna spend His time playing the flute. May Lord Krsna be present.

 

2) Looking at Lord Krsna’s attractive yellow garment made a strong presence of my heart. I start to smile at this.

 

3) When the soul starts to leave from my throat, and there is no way to stop this, at this critical, may I never see the face of Yamaraja.

 

4) At this critical time when death comes quickly, never forget Lord Syama! May I ask, “Oh Syama! Please bring Sri Radhe with You!”

 

5) This devotee is making such a plea that is selfish. Since I have made such please, from this point, You can decide what You wish to do to me.
