udas dharti udas ambar
udas jeevan udas raahe
chhalakti ankhe sisakti aanhe
niras mukhde buji nigahe
ye dekh kar ro diye bagirath
chale tapasya ke dukh ko shne
bida ki bela mein bharke ansu
khadi thi ghar ghar ki maa bhne


jaao mere devta jaao mere praan
kare ganga mayiya tumhara kalyaan
sidha roye praan rakho kul ki khan
kare ganga mayiya tumhara kalyaan
har har har gange har har har gange
barso se hain ye duniya dukhi
barso se hain ye duniya dukhi
mit jana par karna isko sukhi
rakhna hmare ansu ka maan
jaao mere devta jaao mere praan
kare ganga mayiya tumhara kalyaan
har har har gange har har har gange

har ek disha se takraao na tum
har ek disha se takraao na tum
sabki khushi ye hain ki ghar aaoo na tum
dukhiya hai dharti jhuka hua asmaan
jaaoo mere devta jaao mere praan
kare ganga mayiya tumhara kalyaan
sidha roye praan dhan rakho kul ki khan
kare ganga mayiya tumhara kalyaan
har har har gange har har gange
har har har gange har har gange

Gloomy earth, a somber sky,
Life itself, paths that sadly lie.
Tears welling, sobs that softly sigh,
Faces dimmed, eyes that slowly die.

Bhagirath, witnessing this plight, wept,
Embarked on penance, sorrow kept.
With a vessel, tears he’d borne,
Mothers, sisters, stood forlorn.

Go, my god, my life, depart,
May Ganga's grace fill your heart.
Be true, dear life, protect our line,
May Ganga's grace on you shine.
Har Har Har Gange, Har Har Har Gange.

For ages, this world has known pain,
For ages, this world has known rain
Of sorrow, that must not remain.
Let it fade, let joy attain.
Honor our tears, our heartfelt pleas,
Go, my god, my life, appease.
May Ganga's grace fill your heart,
Har Har Har Gange, Har Har Har Gange.

Do not clash, in every direction,
Do not clash, beyond reflection.
All long for joy, for your return,
A grieving earth, the heavens mourn.
Go, my god, my life, depart,
May Ganga's grace fill your heart.
Be true, dear life, protect our line,
May Ganga's grace on you shine.
Har Har Har Gange, Har Har Har Gange.
Har Har Har Gange, Har Har Har Gange.
