har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange
har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange
mahadev ki jata se nikli
lekar taral tarange
har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange

lehar lehar leharaati lehre
shital ras chhalkaati lehre
ithlaati itraati gaati
chali daya me man range
har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange

idhar tadapta angaaro pe
ek komal sukumaar
udhar veg me badhi aa rahi
ganga ji ki dhaar
hod lagi hai aaj yaha pe
jiwan maut ke beech
dekhe kis ki haar hoti hai
hoti hai kis ki jeet
chali kisi ka garv todne
jal me chhupi umange
har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange

agni ki lapto se uthaaye
apni god me baalak
runjhun runjhun chali gange ma
ban uska partipaalak
paar na koi paaye
daya ki devi hai ma gange
har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange
har gange, har gange
har gange, har har gange

O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!
O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!
From Mahadev's locks she sprung,
Bearing liquid, shifting waves.
O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!

Wave on wave, the waters dance,
Cool nectar they release, enhance.
Playful, laughing, singing free,
Dyeing hearts in mercy's sea.
O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!

Here, upon the burning pyre,
A tender, fragile, child of fire.
There, the Ganga's current swift,
Rushes, a life-sustaining gift.
A contest born this very day,
'Twixt life and death, come what may.
Whose defeat shall we behold?
Whose victory will unfold?
To shatter pride, she starts to flow,
Within her depths, the hopes bestow.
O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!

From flames of fire, she retrieves,
The child within her arms she weaves.
Rhythm of bells, Ganga Ma flows,
As caretaker, the mother knows.
None can ever pass her grace,
Ganga, goddess of embrace.
O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!
O, Ganges, O, Ganges,
O, Ganges, Hail, O, Ganges!
