दुर्गा चालीसा - Durga Chalisa Lyrics
नमो नमो दुर्गे सुख करनी। नमो नमो अंबे दुःख हरनी॥
Salutations to Durga who brings happiness. Salutations to Amba who removes sorrows.
निरंकार है ज्योति तुम्हारी। तिहूं लोक फैली उजियारी॥
You are the one who is beyond attributes, O Mother. The whole world is your creation.
शशि लालाट मुख महाविशाला। नेत्र लाल भृकुटि विकराला॥
Shiva's skull is in your hands, the great illusion is destroyed.

You hold the form of mother nature, making people happy by your sight.
तुम संसार शक्ति लै कीना। पालन हेतु अन्न धन दीना॥
You are the goddess who holds all power, protecting the world.
अन्नपूर्णा हुई जग पाला। तुम ही आदि सुन्दरी बाला॥
Annapurna who sustains the world. You are the first Sundari.
प्रलयकाल सब नाशन हारी। तुम गौरी शिवशंकर प्यारी॥
Prahlada's aunt is burning. You are dear to Gauri Shankar.
शिव योगी तुम्हरे गुण गावें। ब्रह्मा विष्णु तुम्हें नित ध्यावें॥

धरयो रूप नरसिंह को अम्बा। परगट भई फाड़कर खम्बा॥
In the form of a demon, you became Mother Amba. You tore apart the demon.
रक्षा करि प्रह्लाद बचायो। हिरण्याक्ष को स्वर्ग पठायो॥
You protected Prahlada and killed Hiranyakashipu. You sent him to heaven.
लक्ष्मी रूप धरो जग माहीं। श्री नारायण अंग समाहीं॥

हिंगलाज में तुम्हीं भवानी। महिमा अमित न जात बखानी॥
You are Bhavani in Hinglaj. Your glory cannot be described in words.
मातंगी अरु धूमावति माता। भुवनेश्वरी बगला सुख दाता॥
Matangi and Dhumavati are mothers. Bhuvaneshwari and Bagla give happiness.
श्री भैरव तारा जग तारिणी। छिन्न भाल भव दुःख निवारिणी॥
Shri Bhairav and Tara save the world. Chhinnabhala removes worldly suffering.
केहरि वाहन सोह भवानी। लांगुर वीर चलत अगवानी॥
The lion vehicle looks beautiful, O Bhavani. The brave monkey leads the procession.
कर में खप्पर खड्ग विराजै। जाको देख काल डर भाजै॥
Skull and sword shine in your hands. Even death fears seeing you.
सोहै अस्त्र और त्रिशूला। जाते उठत शत्रु हिय शूला॥
Your weapons and trident look beautiful. Enemies' hearts burn with fear.
नगरकोट में तुम्हीं विराजत। तिहुँलोक में डंका बाजत॥

You killed the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. You destroyed Raktabeeja and Shumbha.
महिषासुर नृप अति अभिमानी। जेहि अघ भार मही अकुलानी॥

प्रेम भक्ति से जो यश गावें। दुःख दारिद्र निकट नहिं आवें॥
Those who sing your glory with love and devotion. Sorrow and poverty never come near them.
ध्यावे तुम्हें जो नर मन लाई। जन्म-मरण ताकौ छुटि जाई॥
Whoever meditates upon you with devotion. Is freed from the cycle of birth and death.
जोगी सुर मुनि कहत पुकारी। योग न हो बिन शक्ति तुम्हारी॥
Yogis, gods, and sages call out. Yoga is not possible without your power.

Shankar meditates upon you day and night. He never forgets you.
शक्ति रूप का मरम न पायो। शक्ति गई तब मन पछितायो॥
He didn't understand the secret of your power form. When power left, he repented.
शरणागत हुई कीर्ति बखानी। जय जय जय जगदम्ब भवानी॥
Taking refuge, I sing your glory. Victory, victory, victory to Jagdamba Bhavani.
भई प्रसन्न आदि जगदम्बा। दई शक्ति नहिं कीन विलम्बा॥
The first Jagdamba became pleased. She gave power without delay.
मोको मातु कष्ट अति घेरो। तुम बिन कौन हरै दुःख मेरो॥
O Mother, I am surrounded by great troubles. Who can remove my sorrows except you?
आशा तृष्णा निपट सतावें। मोह मदादिक सब बिनशावे॥
Hope and desire torment me. Destroy attachment, ego, and all.
शत्रु नाश कीजै महारानी। सुमिरौं इकचित तुम्हें भवानी॥
Destroy enemies, O great queen. I remember you, O Bhavani.
करो कृपा हे मातु दयाला। ऋद्धि-सिद्धि दै करहु निहाला॥
Have mercy, O compassionate Mother. Grant me wealth and accomplishments.
जब लगि जियऊं दया फल पाऊं। तुम्हरो यश मैं सदा सुनाऊं॥
As long as I live, I will receive the fruit of your mercy. I will always sing your glory.
श्री दुर्गा चालीसा जो कोई गावै। सब सुख भोग परमपद पावै॥
