O Jagannath, I ask nothing from You, I only beg for this: grant me That I may chant Your name day and night, That Your mercy may always be with me, That my refuge may always be at Your feet, That I may receive Your darshan every day. This much I pray at Your feet, There is nothing else in my mind. You are my life's treasure, You are the charmer of my world. Without You, I am blind, Without You, my life is dead. You are my hope and trust, You are the essence of my entire life. In sorrow and in joy, Your name I chant incessantly. By Your grace, everything is obtained; Without You, nothing is good. This much I pray at Your feet, There is nothing else in my mind. You are my life's treasure, You are the charmer of my world.
