bin kaaj aaj maharaj laaj gayi meri
laaj gayi meri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri

tum dinana ki sudh let devki nandan
mahima bhagwant bhakt dukh bhanjan
tum kiye siya dukh dur shambu dhanukhandan
aji aarti madan gopaal munin manranjan
karuna nidhaan bhagwaan kari kaha deri
kaha deri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri

baithe sab raaj samaaj, niti jin koi
nahi karat dharam ki baat sabha me koi
paancho pati baithe maun kaun gati hoi
le le nandan ka naam draupdi roi
kari kari vilaap santaap sabha me teri
sabha me teri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri

bin kaaj aaj maharaj laaj gayi meri
laaj gayi meri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri
dukh haro dwaarika naath, sharan main teri

Today, my honor has bled,
My honor, it has fled.
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I bow at your feet,
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I seek your sweet retreat.

You, who heed the day's lost, Devaki's darling, so kind,
Honored by all, God of gods, sorrow you unwind.
You banished Sita's woe, Shiva's bow you did break,
Oh, Aarti of the Beloved, joy to the wise, for goodness sake!
Mercy's treasure, where are you, why tarry so long?
So long?
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I bow at your feet,
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I seek your sweet retreat.

The court sits, with no justice in sight, none to defend,
No talk of dharma, the right, the end.
Her five husbands silent, what fate to be,
Draupadi cried, calling your name, beseeching thee.
Lamenting, suffering, in the court, before thee,
Before thee.
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I bow at your feet,
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I seek your sweet retreat.

Today, my honor has bled,
My honor, it has fled.
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I bow at your feet,
Sorrow's destroyer, Lord of Dwarka, I seek your sweet retreat.
