We compute the complete imaginary part of the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) Lagrangian at order 1/M{sup 4} in the heavy-quark mass expansion, which includes center of mass operators, and at order {alpha}{sub s}{sup 2} in the matching coefficients. We also compute the imaginary part of the NRQCD Lagrangian at order 1/M{sup 6} and at order {alpha}{sub s}{sup 2} that contributes to the S-wave and P-wave inclusive decay widths of heavy quarkonium into light hadrons at order v{sup 7} in the heavy-quark velocity expansion. If we count {alpha}{sub s}(M){approx}v{sup 2}, the calculation provides the complete next-to-leading order corrections to the P-wave hadronic widths, and in the original NRQCD power counting, the complete next-to-leading order corrections to the vector S-wave widths, and part of the next-to-next-to leading order corrections to the pseudoscalar S-wave widths. In the S-wave case, we confirm previous findings and add new terms in a more conservative power counting. In the P-wave case, our results are in disagreement with previous ones. Constraints induced by Poincare invariance on the NRQCD four-fermion sector are studied for the first time and provide an additional check of the calculation. Perspectives for phenomenological applications are discussed.
