Original
हे प्रभो आनंददाता ज्ञान हमको दीजिए। शीघ्र सारे दुर्गुणों को दूर हमसे कीजिए॥ लीजिए हमको शरण में हम सदाचारी बनें। ब्रह्मचारी धर्म-रक्षक वीर व्रतधारी बनें॥

He Prabho Anand-data gyan humko deejiye, Sheeghra saare durgunon ko door humse keejiye. Leejiye humko sharan mein hum sadachari banein, Brahmachari dharma-rakshak veer vrat-dhari banein.

O Lord, Giver of supreme bliss, bestow wisdom upon us. Remove swiftly all flaws and vices from within us. Take us into Your refuge so we may live righteous lives, uphold spiritual discipline, protect truth/righteousness, and remain steadfast in noble vows.
सद्गुण याचना (Prayer for Divine Qualities - Stanza 2)
Original
निंदा किसी की हम किसी से भूल कर भी न करें। ईर्ष्या कभी भी हम किसी से भूल कर भी न करें॥ सत्य बोलें, झूठ त्यागें, मेल आपस में करें। प्रेम गंगा दिल में बहाकर दिव्य जीवन जी सकें॥
Transliteration
Ninda kisi ki hum kisi se bhool kar bhi na karein, Eershya kabhi bhi hum kisi se bhool kar bhi na karein. Satya bolein, jhooth tyaagein, mel aapas mein karein, Prem Ganga dil mein bahaakar divya jeevan jee sakein.
Meaning / Translation
May we never speak ill or slander anyone even by mistake. May we never harbor jealousy or malice toward anyone. May we speak truth, abandon falsehood, foster harmony, and by flowing the sacred river of love in our hearts, lead a divine life.
आत्मसमर्पण एवं उन्नति (Spiritual Evolution & Dedication)
Original
हे प्रभो आनंददाता ज्ञान हमको दीजिए। शीघ्र सारे दुर्गुणों को दूर हमसे कीजिए॥ हाथ जोड़ें, शीश नावें, कर रहे गुणगान हम। आध्यात्मिक पथ पर बढ़ें नित, पाएं पद निर्वाण हम॥
Transliteration
He Prabho Anand-data gyan humko deejiye, Sheeghra saare durgunon ko door humse keejiye. Haath jodein, sheesh naavein, kar rahe gungaan hum, Aadhyatmik path par badhein nit, paayein pad nirvaan hum.
Meaning / Translation
O Lord, Giver of supreme bliss, grant us divine knowledge and remove all negativity from us. With folded hands and bowed heads, we sing Your glories. May we continually advance on the spiritual path and attain the highest state of liberation.
