meri pat raakho girdhaari, pat raakho re girdhaari
meri pat raakho girdhaari, meri pat raakho girdhaari
meri pat raakho girdhaari, meri pat raakho girdhaari
main dukhiya sharan tihaari
meri pat raakho girdhaari, meri pat raakho girdhaari

chhod tumhara dwaar prabhu mai kiske dware jaau
chhod tumhara dwaar prabhu mai kiske dware jaau
tum bin mera kaun sahaara, kisse aas lagaau
ye bolo krishna muraari re
meri pat raakho girdhaari, meri pat raakho girdhaari

dekho meri bich bhanwar me doob rahi hai naiyya
charo aur hai ghor andhera, koi nahi khiwaiya
tufaan utha hai bhaari, mujhe shakti do
mujhe shakti do banwaari
meri pat raakho girdhaari, meri pat raakho girdhaari
main dukhiya sharan tihaari
meri pat raakho girdhaari, meri pat raakho girdhaari

Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari,
Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari,
Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari,
I, in sorrow, seek your shelter,
Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari.

Leaving your door, O Lord, to whose door shall I turn?
Leaving your door, O Lord, to whose door shall I turn?
Without you, who is my support, on whom shall I rely?
Speak, Krishna Murari, speak!
Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari.

Behold, my boat is drowning in the whirlpool,
Darkness surrounds me, a dense shroud, no oarsman in sight.
A storm rages fiercely, grant me strength,
O Vanwari, grant me strength!
Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari,
I, in sorrow, seek your shelter,
Hold my honor, O Girdhari, hold it fast, Girdhari.
