Maa Durga Chalisa in English Lyrics
॥ Chaupai ॥
Namo namo Durge sukh karani ।
Namo namo Ambe dukh harani ॥ 1 ॥
Nirankar hai jyoti tumhari
Tihun lok pheli ujayari ॥ 2 ॥
Shashi lalat mukh maha vishala ।
Netra lal brikuti vikrala ॥ 3 ॥
Roop matu ko adhika suhave ।
Daras karat jan ati sukh pave ॥ 4 ॥
Tum sansar shakti laya kina ।
Palan hetu anna dhan dina ॥ 5 ॥
Annapurna hui jag pala ।
Tumhi adi sundari bala ॥ 6 ॥
Pralaya kal sab nashan hari ।
Tum Gauri Shiv Shankar pyari ॥ 7 ॥
Shiv yogi tumhare gun gave ।
Brahma Vishnu tumhe nit dhyaven ॥ 8 ॥
Roop Saraswati ko tum dhara ।
De subudhi rishi munin ubara ॥ 9 ॥
Dharyo roop Narsimha ko Amba ।
Pragat bhayin phar kar kamba ॥ 10 ॥
Raksha kari Prahalad bachayo ।
Hiranakush ko swarg pathayo ॥ 11 ॥
Lakshmii roop dharo jag mahi ।
Shree Narayan ang samahi ॥ 12 ॥
Ksheree Sindhu karat vilasa ।
Daya Sindhu deejay man aasa ॥ 13 ॥
Hingalaj mein tumhi Bhavani ।
Mahima amit na jaat bakhani ॥ 14 ॥
Matangi Dhoomavati Mata ।
Bhuvneshwari Bagala Sukhdata ॥ 15 ॥
Shree Bairav Tara jog tarani ।
Chin-na Bhala bhav dukh nivarani ॥ 16 ॥
Kehari Vahan soh Bhavani ।
Langur veer chalat agavani ॥ 17 ॥
Kar men khappar khadag viraje ।
Jako dekh kal dar bhaje ॥ 18 ॥
Sohe astra aur trishoola ।
Jase uthata shatru hiya shoola ॥ 19 ॥
Nagarkot mein tumhi virajat ।
Tihun lok mein danka bajat ॥ 20 ॥
Shumbhu Nishumbhu Danuja tum mare ।
Rakta-beeja shankhan samhare ॥ 21 ॥
Mahishasur nripa ati abhimani ।
Jehi agha bhar mahi akulani ॥ 22 ॥
Roop kaaral Kalika dhara ।
Sen sahita tum tin samhara ॥ 23 ॥
Pari garha santan par jab jab ।
Bhayi sahaya Matu tum tab tab ॥ 24 ॥
Amarpuri aru basava loka ।
Tava mahima sab rahen asoka ॥ 25 ॥
Jwala mein hai jyoti tumhari ।
Tumhen sada pujan nar nari ॥ 26 ॥
Prem bhakti se jo yash gaye ।
Dukh-daridra nikat nahin ave ॥ 27 ॥
Dhyave tumhen jo nar man laee ।
Janam-maran tako chuti jaee ॥ 28 ॥
Jogi sur-muni kahat pukari ।
Jog na ho bin shakti tumhari ॥ 29 ॥
Shankar Aacharaj tap keenhon ।
Kam krodh jeet sab leenhon ॥ 30 ॥
Nisidhin dhyan dharo Shanker ko ।
Kahu kal nahin sumiron tum ko ॥ 31 ॥
Shakti roop ko maram na payo ।
Shakti gayi tab man pachitayo ॥ 32 ॥
Sharnagat hui keerti bakhani ।
Jai jai jai Jagdamb Bhavani ॥ 33 ॥
Bhayi prasanna Aadi Jagdamba ।
Dayi shakti nahin keen vilamba ॥ 34 ॥
Mokun Matu kashta ati ghero ।
Tum bin kaun hare dukh mero ॥ 35 ॥
Asha trishna nipat sataven ।
Moh madadik sab binsaven ॥ 36 ॥
Shatru nash keeje Maharani ।
Sumiron ekachita tumhen Bhavani ॥ 37 ॥
Karo kripa hey Matu dayala ।
Riddhi-Siddhi de karahu nihala ॥ 38 ॥
Jab lagi jiyoon daya phal paoon ।
Tumro yash mein sada sunaoon ॥ 39 ॥
Durga chalisa jo gaye ।
Sab sukh bhog parampad pave ॥ 40 ॥
॥ Doha ॥
Devidas sharan nij jani ।
Karahu kripa Jagdamb Bhavani ॥
