sabse pyara sabse nayara
parbhu ji naam tumhara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara
sabse pyara sabse nayara
parbhu ji naam tumhara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara
jai jai sham ghansham, jai jai sham ghansham
jai jai sham ghansham

sara jag hai uska data
tu jiska ho jaye data, tu jiska ho jaye
bhul jaye sara dukhda
jo sharan tumhari aaye
data jo sharan tumhari aaye
sagar se milkar
sagar ban jaye jal ki dhara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara
jai jai sham ghansham, jai jai sham ghansham
jai jai sham ghansham

aate jate do sanso pe
maan kare hai kaisa data
maan kare hai kaisa
sab kuch dene wala tu
abhiman kare hai ham kaisa data
maan kare hai ham kaisa
sukh de chahe, dukh de data
sabkuch hamko pyara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara
jai jai sham ghansham, jai jai sham ghansham
jai jai sham ghansham
sabse pyara sabse nayara
parbhu ji naam tumhara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara

apne dwar ke bhakti dedo
apna daas bana lo
parbhu ji apna daas bana lo
batke dar kabhi jo
apna samjh ke gale laga lo
parbhu ji hamko gale laga lo
tumne nanhi jyot hai thami
tum man ka ujhiyara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara
jai jai sham ghansham, jai jai sham ghansham
jai jai sham ghansham
sabse pyara sabse nayara
parbhu ji naam tumhara
jiska koi na jag me
uska tum hi ek sahara

Dearest, most tender, your name, O Lord, we praise,
Whose world is orphaned, in your light finds solace.
Dearest, most tender, your name, O Lord, we praise,
Whose world is orphaned, in your light finds solace.
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!

The giver to all, your grace descends,
Whose heart is yours, the suffering ends.
Your shelter offered, the tear-filled tide,
Becomes an ocean, where sorrows hide.
Whose world is orphaned, in your light finds solace.
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!

On breaths that come and go, such pride we weave,
While you, the Giver, all things conceive.
What arrogance we hold, with hearts so frail,
Whether joy or sorrow, your love shall prevail.
Whose world is orphaned, in your light finds solace.
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
Dearest, most tender, your name we sing,
Whose world is orphaned, to you we cling.

Grant me devotion, make me your own,
Lord, bind me to you, though I have roamed,
Embrace me, Lord, as your child so dear,
You held the tiny flame, banished fear.
Whose world is orphaned, in your light finds solace.
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
Dearest, most tender, your name we sing,
Whose world is orphaned, to you we cling.

None who seek you, ever leave bereft,
Giver, I come, though sin has left me cleft,
A beggar at your door, my needs laid bare,
Lest my flame extinguish, plunged in despair.
Whose world is orphaned, in your light finds solace.
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!

Let not my failings be visited on these,
Let not my failings, upon my children seize.
Take, take my life, and let them be,
Give life to those, who stand guilt-free.
Victory to Shyam, the Dark One, victory!
