klanti meri kshama karo prabhu
path me jo pichhe, pichhe kabhi rahu
klanti meri kshama karo prabhu
path me jo pichhe, pichhe kabhi rahu
klanti meri kshama karo prabhu

hraday mera thar thar kaanpe, aaj rah rah
vedna ye kshama karo, kshama karo
kshama karo prabhu
path me jo pichhe, pichhe kabhi rahu
klanti meri kshama karo prabhu

meri dinta kshama karo prabhu
mud ke kabhi pichhe jo dekhu
meri dinta kshama karo prabhu
din ki tapat raudar jwala
puja ki bhi sukhe mala
malinta ye kshama karo, kshama karo
kshama karo prabhu
path me jo pichhe, pichhe kabhi rahu
klanti meri kshama karo prabhu
path me jo pichhe, pichhe kabhi rahu
klanti meri kshama karo prabhu

Forgive, my Lord, the weariness that clings,
That leaves me lagging on the path's long climb.
Forgive, my Lord, the weary soul that sings
Of shadows cast, lost in the sands of time.
Forgive, my Lord.

My heart, a trembling leaf in autumn's breeze,
Quakes with the echoes of a lingering pain.
Forgive this ache, this plea upon my knees,
Forgive, forgive, wash clean this mortal stain.
Forgive, my Lord.
That leaves me lagging on the path's long climb.
Forgive, my Lord.

Forgive my frailty, my humble plea,
The backward glance, the longing to be free.
Forgive my frailty, this tear-filled plea.
The day's fierce heat, a burning, fiery kiss,
The withered garland of a prayer I miss.
Forgive the blight, the dust upon my soul,
Forgive, forgive, and make me pure and whole.
Forgive, my Lord.
That leaves me lagging on the path's long climb.
Forgive, my Lord.
That leaves me lagging on the path's long climb.
Forgive, my Lord.
