Borobudurer bhiti stapan
Buddha deber kripar plaban
Moitri dipti shanti tripti
Nai hetha nai nishar supti

Brahma, Vishnu, Shib
Ami achetan jib
Durga, Kamala, Kali
Kothai arghya thali
Kartik, Ganapati
Dao more dhrira mati

Translation:

Brahma, Vishnu, Shib!
An unconscious creatue am I.
Durga, Kamala, Kali!
Where is my aspiration-dedication-bowl?
Kartik, Ganapati!
Do surcharge my mind with firm determination.

From everybody, I desire.
Therefore, I bow my head
At the feet of all and sundry.

Chahina jiban chahina maran
Chahi shudhu taba abhoy charan
Chahi shudhu mama hiya krandan
Tomar ichchha hauk puran

Translation:

I do not want life.
I do not want death.
I want to have only Your Feet
That destroy all my fear.
I want to have a crying heart.
May Your Will always be fulfilled.
