I am caught in the fetters of the world
I'm struck by passions and egocentric emotions
O Bhavani, O Mother of the universe!
Who will protect me?
You are the Soul force!
You are my sole refuge!
~*~
I know nothing about charms or sacred prayers
I have neither devotion nor I do any meditation
I don't know how to perform worship or penance
I never did any good work, nor gave any charity
I craved for worldly joys and sensual pleasures
I am lustful, sinful, foolish and I am avaricious
O Bhavani, O Mother of the universe!
Who will protect me?
You are the Soul force!
You are my sole refuge!
~*~
Neither the creator nor an angel nor any god
Nor the sun nor the moon comes down for me
I don’t know anyone except You, my savior
When I am surrounded by enemies and troubles
When I am surrounded by disputes and sorrows
O Bhavani, O Mother of the universe!
Who will protect me?
You are the Soul force!
You are my sole refuge!
