MEANING:

Neither mother, nor father, neither relation, 

nor friend,Neither son, nor daughter, neither servant nor husband,

Neither wife, nor knowledge And neither my occupation,

Are refuges that I can depend, 

Oh, Bhavani, So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani. ||1||

I am in this ocean of birth and death, 

I am a coward, who dare not face sorrow,

I am filled with lust and sin, I am filled with greed and desire, 

And tied I am, by the this useless life that I lead,

 So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani ||2||

I do not know how to give, nor do I know how to meditate, 

I do not know tantra, nor do I know stanzas of prayer, 

I do not know how to worship, nor do I know the art of yoga,

So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani ||3||

I do not know how to be righteous, I do not know the way to the sacred places,

I do not know methods of salvation, I do not know how to merge my mind with God,

I do not know the art of devotion, I do not know how to practice austerities, Oh, mother,

So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani ||4||

I perform bad actions, I keep bad company, 

I think bad and sinful thoughts, I serve bad masters, 

I belong to a bad family, I am immersed in sinful acts, 

I see with bad intentions, I write bad words, 

Always and always, you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani. ||5||

Neither Do I know the creator, Nor the Lord of Lakshmi, 

Neither do I know the lord of all,

Nor do I know the lord of devas,

 Neither do I know the God who makes the day,

Nor the God who rules at night, 

Neither do I know any other Gods, 

Oh, Goddess to whom I bow always, 

So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani ||6||

While I am in a heated argument, While I am immersed in sorrow, 

While I am suffering an accident, While I am travelling far off, 

While I am in water or fire, While I am on the top of a mountain, 

While I am surrounded by enemies, And while I am in a deep forest,

Oh Goddess, I always bow before thee, 

So you are my refuge and my only refuge, Bhavani ||7||

While being an orphan, While being extremely poor, 

While affected by disease of old age,

While I am terribly tired, While I am in a pitiable state, 

While I am being swallowed by problems, And While I suffer serious dangers,

 I always bow before thee, So you are my refuge and only refuge, Bhavani ||8||
