सरीरम  सुरूपं  तदा   व  कलाथ्रम ,
यासचारू  चित्रं  धनं  मेरु  ठुल्यम ,
मनास्चेन्ना  लग्नं  गुरोरंग्री  पद्मे ,तत  किम  तत किम  तत किम  तत  किम 


                                            



Sareeram suroopam thadha va kalathram,
Yasacharu chithram dhanam meru thulyam,
Manaschenna lagnam Gurorangri padme,Thatha kim Thatha Kim, Thatha kim Thatha Kim


Even if you have a pretty mien, a beautiful wife,
Great fame and mountain like money,
If your mind does not bow at the Teacher's feet,
What is the use? What is the use? And What is the use?



कलाथ्रम  धनं  पुथ्रापोथ्राधि  सर्वं ,

गृहम  बंधवं  सर्वमेथाधि  जथाम ,
मनास्चेन्ना  लग्नं  गुरोरंग्री  पद्मे ,
तत किम  तत किम , तत किम  तत किम

Kalathram Dhanam puthrapothradhi sarvam,
Gruham Bandhavam Sarvamethadhi jatham,
Manaschenna lagnam Gurorangri padme,
Thatha kim Thatha Kim, Thatha kim Thatha kim. 2

Even if you have a wife, wealth, children grand children.
House , relations and are born in a great family,
If your mind does not bow at the Teacher's feet,
What is the use? What is the use? And What is the use?
