om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah
mukham karoti vacalam pangum langhayate girim

nama om visnu-padaya krsna-pres?haya bhu-tale

nama acharya padaya nitai kripa pradayine
gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine
My Dear Spiritual Father,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
My Dear Spiritual Father,
I am so happy to be a part of your 70th appearance day. All glories to your auspicious appearance day Dearest Gurudeva. To give Krishna to fallen souls like me, you have come back to us. Krishna has mercifully accepted our prayers and given you back to us. Thank you Krishna!
On this auspicious day, I take this opportunity to glorify you, for my own purification. I fall short of words to glorify your holiness. Please bless me with an iota of determination that you have to follow Srila Prabhupada instructions, so that I can follow your instructions to preach. Please bless me that until my last breath I be in your service in the association of devotees.
Please accept this small poem unto your lotus feet.
