(refrain)

dīnana duḥkha harana deva santana hitakārī

(1)

ajāmīla gīdha vyādha inameń kaho kaun sādha

pañchī ko pada paḍhāta  gaṇikā-sī tārī

(2)

dhruva ke sira chatra deta prahlāda ko ubāra leta

bhakta heta bāńdhyo seta lańkā purī jārī

tandula deta rījha jāta sāga pātasoń aghāta

ginata nahiń jūṭhe phala, khāte mīṭhe khārī

gajako jaba grāha grasyo duḥśāsana cīra khasyo

sabhā bīca kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa draupadī pukārī

(5)

itane hari āye gaye basanana ārūḍha bhaye

sūradāsa dvāra ṭhāḍho, āńdharo bhikhārī

TRANSLATION

(refrain): He is the Lord of the fallen and distressed. He is the well wisher of all saintly persons.

1) Ajamila, the vulture, and hunter: who amongst them are saintly? The Lord gave a bird ultimate liberation and made a man who resided with a prostitute cross the ocean of misery.

2) He has given the umbrella over the Dhruva Maharaja’s head. He protected Prahlada Maharaja and liberated him. For the sake of His devotees, He builds a bridge to Lanka, where Ravana resides.

3) To give up the delicacies of Duryodhana, he ate the vegetables of Vidura. Without considering the condition of the fruits, he ate Sabhari’s fruits sweetened with devotion.

4) He saved the elephant from the alligator in the ocean. Draupadi yelled in court, “Krsna! Krsna!” when Duhsasana pulled her cloth; Krsna became the cloth to protect her honor.

5) Oh Lord Hari, You have come and left and done so many wonders. Thus, the blind beggar, Sura Dasa, is at your door.
