Lyrics

The full lyrics of this prayer in Odia is as follows:

ଆହେ ଦୟାମୟ ବିଶ୍ୱ ବିହାରୀ, ଘେନ ଦୟା ବହି ମୋର ଗୁହାରି! |୧|

ଜଳ ସ୍ଥଳ ବନ ଗିରି ଆକାଶ, ତୁମ ଲୀଳା ସବୁଠାରେ ପ୍ରକାଶ। |୨|

ତୁମେ ଶୁଭ ବୁଦ୍ଧି ପରା ଶିଖାଅ, ତୁମେ ଭଲ ବାଟ ପରା ଦେଖାଅ |୩|

ମୋର କାମକୁ କରାଅ ସରସ, ମୋର ମୁଖେ ଦିଅ ଚିର ହରଷ |୪|

ତୁମ ଚରଣରେ ମୋର ଭକତି, ଦିଅ ବିପଦେ ସାହସ ଶକତି |୫|

ମୋତେ ଖଳ ଅଳସୁଆ ନିକଟେ, ନିଅ ନାହିଁ ସୁଖେ ଅବା ସଙ୍କଟେ।୬।

ଦୁଃଖୀ ଅରକ୍ଷିତ ସେବା କାରଣେ, ବଳ ଦିଅ ମୋର କର ଚରଣେ |୭|

ସତ କହିବାକୁ କିଆଁ ଡରିବି, ସତ କହି ପଛେ ମଲେ ମରିବି |୮|

ମୋତେ ଏତିକି ଶିଖାଅ ସାଇଁ ହେ, ମୋର ଧନଜନ ଲୋଡ଼ା ନାହିଁ ହେ |୯|
