Pallavi

Nee Daasanu dasudanani
Pere Yemi balamu

Anupallavi

Bheda sathalandhu neeku prema leka poye

Charanam

Sarivarilo nannu thsoukha chesidhivi kani.
Karunimbaleka neethu karma runa davu kani,
Roshamule daye ruchira vakkulu poye,
Dasula brochithi vata Thyagaraja ilalo.

English Translation

Pallavi

What is there in your earning a name,
That you are slave to your slaves

Anupallavi

As you do not seem to have true love towards them

Charanam

Though you insulted me before my equals and told,
“ I cannot show mercy to you , as that is your Karma”,
Don’ t you have emotions, Don’t you have sweet words,
Don’t you have Thyagaraja in the list of your devotees.
