इतना तो करना स्वामी , जब प्राण तन से निकले

गोविन्द नाम लेके , तब प्राण तन से निकले ! 1.

(refrain)

itnā to karnā svāmi, jab prāṇa tan se nikale

govinda nāma leke, tab prāṇa tan se nikale 1.

श्री गंगा जी का तट हो , जमुना का वंशीवट हो

मेरा साँवरा निकट हो , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 2.

śri gańgā jī kā taṭa ho yamunā kā vaḿśī-vaṭa ho

mera sāńvarā nikaṭa ho jab prāṇa tan se nikale 2.

श्री वृन्दावन का तल हो , मेरे मुख में तुलसीदल हो

विष्णु चरण का जल हो , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 3.

sri vrindavan ka tal ho mere mukh mei tulsi dal ho

vishnu charan ka jal ho jab prana tan se nikle 3.

पीताम्बरी कसी हो ,छवि मन में ये बसी हो

होठों पे कुछ हँसी हो , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 4.

pītāmbarī kasī ho chavī man meń ye basī ho

hońṭon pe kuch hasī ho jab prāṇa tan se nikale 4.

मेरा प्राण निकले सुख से , तेरा नाम निकले मुख से

बच जाऊं घोर दुःख से , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 5.

mera prana nikle sukh se tera naam nikle mukh se

bach jaaun ghor dukh se jab prana tan se nikle 5.

जब प्राण कंठ आये , कोई रोग न सताए

यम दरस न दिखाए , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 6.

jab kaṇṭha prāṇa āye koī roga nā satāye

yama darasa na dikhāye jab prāṇa tan se nikale 6.

उस वक़्त जल्दी आना , नहीं श्याम भूल जाना

राधे को साथ लाना , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 7.

us waqt jaldi ānā nahiń śyām bhūla jānā

rādhe ko sātha lānā jab prāṇa tan se nikale 7.

एक भक्त की है अर्जी , खुदगर्ज़ की है गरजी

आगे तुम्हारी मर्ज़ी , जब प्राण तन से निकले ! 8.

ek bhakta kī haiń arzī khudgarz kī haiń garzī

āge tumharī marzī jab prāṇa tan se nikale 8.

TRANSLATION

1)(Refrain) Oh Lord, Please do this much, when the soul leaves my body, that I take Your beautiful name of Govinda.

2) Whether it be the Holy Ganges River, or the Yamuna River where Lord Krsna spend His time playing the flute. May Lord Krsna be present.

3) Let there be the soil of Sri Vrindavan and the tulsi in my mouth.Let there be the charan-amrit coming out of lotus feets of Lord Krsna (Vishnu).

4) Looking at Lord Krsna’s attractive yellow garment made a strong presence of my heart. I start to smile at this.

5) May i leave my body in complete happiness , chanting your holy names from my mouth

May i escape this world of material miseries.

6) When the soul starts to leave from my throat, and there is no way to stop this, at this critical, may I never see the face of Yamaraja.

7) At this critical time when death comes quickly, never forget Lord Syama! May I ask, “Oh Syama! Please bring Sri Radhe with You!”

8) This devotee is making such a plea that is selfish. Since I have made such please, from this point, You can decide what You wish to do to me.
