jai maa ganga maa jai maa ganga maa
ganga ji ki lehro pe diyara bahe
ganga ji ki lehro pe diyara bahe
diyara bahe diyara bahe
goriya ka amar suhag rahe
ganga ji ki lehro pe diyara bahe
jai maa ganga maa

bahte bahte diyara jaiyo pardesh
piya ji se kahaye mora itna sandesh
eti aur diya jale uti aur jiya jale
ganga ji ki lehro pe diyara jale
jai maa ganga maa

koi mange dhan sukh koi mange gayan
kawnri mange wr bahi mange santan
purn sabhi ki manokamna kare
ganga ji ki lehro pe diyara jale
jai maa ganga maa

piyari chadhawe koi bhagwanti
sindura chadhawe koi laajwanti
tumhari daya ki joyti jalti rahe
ganga ji ki lehro pe diyara jale
jai maa ganga maa

Glory to Ganga, Mother, Glory to Ganga, Mother,
Upon Ganga's waves, a lamp I send,
Upon Ganga's waves, a lamp I send,
The lamp afloat, the lamp afloat,
May the fair one's love forever bloom,
Upon Ganga's waves, a lamp I send,
Glory to Ganga, Mother.

Flowing, flowing, lamp, go to distant lands,
Tell my beloved this, my message true,
Where the lamp burns, my heart also burns,
Upon Ganga's waves, a lamp I send,
Glory to Ganga, Mother.

Some seek wealth, some seek joy, some seek wisdom,
Unmarried girls seek a husband, mothers seek children,
Fulfilling all desires, she does,
Upon Ganga's waves, a lamp I send,
Glory to Ganga, Mother.

Some offer yellow, devout in their prayer,
Some offer red, modest and shy,
Your grace, your light, ever burning bright,
Upon Ganga's waves, a lamp I send,
Glory to Ganga, Mother.
