ya devi sarva bhuteshu shakti rupen sansthita
namas tasyai namas tasyai namas tasyai namo namah
yaa devi sarva bhuteshu matri roopen sansthita
namas tasyai namas tasyai namas tasyai namo namah

maa o maa maa o maa sherawali jyota wali
teri jay ho devi maa tu maha devi tu maha kali
sabki jholi bharne wali tu maha devi tu maha kali
sabki jholi bharne wali jagdambe mujhko meri
maiya se mila de maiya se mila de
bichhadi maiya se mila de bhag jaga de bigdi bana de
maa se mila de maa bhaag jaga de bigdi bana de
maa se mila de maa maa se mila de devi maa

rehne khane ka nahi koi abhav hai
par nahi bharmi re man mein jo ghav hai
rehne khane ka nahi koi abhav hai
par nahi bharmi re man mein jo ghav hai
bhai behno ne jane kya punya kiya hai
unko ghar angan mujhko vanvaas diya hai
sherawali jyota wali teri jay ho devi maa

nanhe nanhe paon hai chhoti chhoti baahe
pao pahunch se dur thakne wali raahe
man mein chhaya ghor andhera
jyot jaga de devi maa duri mita de devi maa
maa se mila de devi maa

In every being, power resides,
She, the form of strength, forever abides.
To that Goddess, we bow, again and again,
In reverence we offer, a sacred refrain.
*
In every being, a mother's embrace,
She, the form of love, time cannot erase.
To that Goddess, we bow, again and again,
In reverence we offer, a sacred refrain.

Mother, O Mother, Lion-rider, light's gleam,
Your victory, Goddess, a vibrant dream.
You, the Great Goddess, the Great Kali's form,
Filling all baskets, weathering every storm.
You, the Great Goddess, the Great Kali's grace,
Fill my empty heart, in this forsaken space.
Jagadambe, reunite me with my own,
With my mother, let me never be alone.
Reunite me with the mother I crave,
Awaken my fortune, my soul to save.
Reunite me with Mother, awaken the light,
Mend what is broken, and make the future bright.
Reunite me with Mother, with the Goddess so kind.

No lack of provision, no want to be found,
Yet, a wound in the heart, deeply unbound.
No lack of provision, no want to be seen,
Yet, a wound in the heart, sharp and keen.
My siblings, what virtue, what blessings they hold,
While for me, a forest, a story untold.
Lion-rider, light's gleam, your victory's call,
Goddess, hear my plea, before I fall.

Little feet, delicate, tender and small,
Tiny arms, reaching, answering the call.
Paths of exhaustion, the distance vast,
Darkness descends, the shadows cast.
Ignite the light, O Goddess divine,
Dispel the darkness, let your radiance shine.
Reunite me with Mother, hear my prayer,
Goddess, show your love, beyond compare.
