mes’siya mes’siya priya mes’siya

nanna priya mes’siya im’manuvel el‍rohi

nanna saṅgaḍa iruvavane nannannu kaṇuvavane!2!

chinteyu illa kaḷavaḷa illa

kaṇṇiru nanagilla ninu joteyiruvaga

shodhane illa, vedane illa

yava bhayavilla ninu kaṇuvaga,

asrayagiriyade nanna balavada

guraṇiyade nanna balavada kheḍyavade

santoṣha bantu samadana tantu

nem’madi dorakitiga

ninu joteyiruvaga

atishaya bantu ananda tantu

hr̥udaya naleyutiga ninu joteyiruvaga

yehova yire yade

nanna ashe akaṅkṣhe yade,

nanna badukisuva kartanade…
