Mother, your temple stands in void,
Mother, your temple desolate.
No incense swirls, no lamp alight,
No devotee to supplicate.
Shadows gather, darkness deep,
Shadows gather, shadows creep.
Ignite the inner lamps of soul,
And banish shadows from the whole.
Ignite the inner lamps of soul,
And banish shadows from the whole.
Mother, your temple stands in void,
Mother, your temple desolate.

O, Mother, eloquent and kind,
Destroyer of all pain, we find,
Mother, giver of all joy,
Bestower of gifts, employ.
Red will swell the offering,
Lives as sacred gift we bring.
Red will swell the offering,
Lives as sacred gift we bring.
Platters of devotion laid,
New dawn’s conch shell will cascade.
Platters of devotion laid,
New dawn’s conch shell will cascade.
India will arise anew,
And a sweet dawn will imbue.
India will arise anew,
And a sweet dawn will imbue.
Mother, your temple stands in void,
Mother, your temple desolate.
