Naayaka en krooshedu
- Naayaka! en kroosheduthu nin pinnaale varum njaan
Nindyanaayi theernn ennalum nin mahathwam gho-shippaan
En karthaave njaan pinchellum thanraktham thaan chorinju
Lokamenne kaivittaalum krupayaal njaan pinchellum
- Laukikaa-bhilaashamalla swarggathinte daivam thaan
Ente divya pankannekkum njaan mahaa sau-bhaagyavaan
- Nin prasaadam en pramodam nin prakaasham jeevanaaam
Nee thaan ente eka laakkum nee ellaatti-lum ellaam
- Shathru ettam krudhichaalum mithram hasichidilum
Ninte mukha shobha moolam kleshamillo-rikkalum
Meaning:
1
My Lord, I will take up my cross
And follow You wherever You lead.
Even if I am despised and rejected,
I will proclaim Your glory.
My Lord, I will follow You;
Even if the world abandons me,
By Your grace I will still follow You.
2
My desire is not for the things of this world;
The God of heaven is my portion.
You are my divine inheritance forever,
And I am truly blessed beyond measure.
3
Your favor is my joy,
Your light is my life.
You alone are my everything;
In You, I have everything I need.
4
Even if the enemy becomes fiercely angry,
And even if my friends mock me,
The radiance of Your face
Will keep me from fear and sorrow.
