om namah shivay jata tavee gala jala
pravaha pavithas thale galae..valambya lambitaam
bhujanga tunga malikaam damad damad damad daman
ninaa davad damar vayam chakara chanda tandavam
tanotu naha shivaha shivam.

jata kataha sambhrama bhraman nillimpa nirzaree,
vilola veechi vallaree viraja mana moordhani,
dhagad dhagad dhagaj jwalal lalata patta pavake,
kishora chandra shekare ratihi pratikshanam mama.

dhara dharendra nandinee vilaasa bhandhu bhandura,
sphuraddigan tasantati pramodha maana maanase,
krupaa kataaksha dhoranee niruddha durdharaapadi,
kwachid digambare mano vinodametu vastuni.

jataa bhujanga pingala sphurat phana mani prabha,
kadambakum kumadrava pralip tadig wadhuu mukhae,
madaandha sindhu rasphurat waguttari yamedure,
mano vinodamaddhutam bibhartu bhoota bhartari
om namah shivay..om namah shivay..

From tangled locks, a river's sacred pour,
Cleansing the throat where poison snakes reside.
Upon his neck, a serpent's rising roar,
The drum's deep echo, where all worlds confide.
He dances fierce, a cosmic, fervent fire,
May Shiva's grace bestow upon our soul.

From matted hair, the Ganges' torrent streams,
Upon his head, the waves in endless play.
A blazing fire from his forehead gleams,
Adorning him, the moon's celestial ray.
In him, my love, in every fleeting breath,
My heart finds solace, facing even death.

With Parvati, his consort, beauty's grace,
His mind a haven, joy's eternal spring.
His gaze, a shield, in every time and place,
Protecting from the storms that anguish bring.
In naked form, where all illusions cease,
My mind finds joy, embracing inner peace.

With serpents twined, their jeweled hoods alight,
Upon the earth, the cosmos wrapped in grace.
The ocean's roar, in darkness and in light,
His form, the source of wonder in this space.
The Lord of all, my spirit finds its home,
May I embrace his love, forever roam.
