Shani Chalisa Lyrics in English
॥ Doha ॥
Jai Ganesh Girija suvan mangal karan kripal ।
Dinan ke dukh door kari kijai nath nihal ॥
Jai Jai Shri Shanidev Prabhu sunahu vinay maharaj ।
Karu kripa hi Ravi tanay rakhahu jan ki laaj ॥
॥ Chaupai ॥
Jayati jayati Shanidev Dayala ।
karat sada bhagatan pratipala ॥ 1 ॥
Chari bhuja, tanu sham viraje ।
mathe ratan mukut chhavi chaje ॥ 2 ॥
Param vishal manohar mhala ।
tedhi drishti bhrikuti vikarala ॥ 3 ॥
Kundal shravan chamacham chamake ।
hiye maal muktan mani damke ॥ 4 ॥
Kar me gada trishul kuthara ।
pal bich kare arihi sahara. ॥ 5 ॥
Pingal, krishno, chhaaya nandan ।
Yam Konsth, Raudra, dukh bhanjan ॥ 6 ॥
Sauri, mand Shani, dash nama ।
Bhanu putra pujahe sab kama ॥ 7 ॥
Japar Prabhu prasanna ha ve jahi ।
rankhu raav kare shann maahi ॥ 8 ॥
Parvathu trun hoi niharat ।
trinahu ko parvat kari darat ॥ 9 ॥
Raaj milat vann Ramahi dinho ।
Kaikeyi hu ki mati hari linho ॥ 10 ॥
Vanahu me mrig kapat dikhai ।
Matu Janki gai churai ॥ 11 ॥
Lakhana hi shakti vikal karidara ।
machiga dal me hahakara ॥ 12 ॥
Ravan ki gati-mati baurai ।
Ramachandra so bair badhai ॥ 13 ॥
Diyo keet kari kanchan Lanka ।
baji Bajarang bir ki danka ॥ 14 ॥
Nrip vikram par tuhi pagu dhara ।
chitra mayoor nigali gai hara ॥ 15 ॥
Haar naulakha lageo chori ।
hath pair daravao tori ॥ 16 ॥
Bhari dasha nikrasht dikhao ।
telahi ghar kolhu chalvao ॥ 17 ॥
Vinay raag deepak mah kinhao ।
tab prasanna Prabhu have sukh dinho ॥ 18 ॥
Harishchandra nrip nari bikani ।
aaphu bhare dom ghar pani ॥ 19 ॥
Taise nal par dasha sirani ।
bhunji-meen kud gai pani ॥ 20 ॥
Shri Shankarahi gaheo jab jai ।
Paravati ko Sati karai ॥ 21 ॥
Tanik vilokat hi kari resa ।
nabh udi gato Gaurisut seema ॥ 22 ॥
Pandav par bhai dasha tumhari ।
bachi Draupadi hoti ughari ॥ 23 ॥
Kaurav keb hi gati mati mareyo ।
yudh Mahabharat kari dareyo ॥ 24 ॥
Ravi kah mukh mah dhari tatkala ।
lekar kudi pareye patala ॥ 25 ॥
Shesh dev-lakhi vinati lai ।
Ravi ko mukh te diyo chudai ॥ 26 ॥
Vahan prabhu ke saat sujana ।
jag diggaj gardabh mrig svana ॥ 27 ॥
Jambuk sinh aadi nakh dhari ।
so phal jyotish kehat pukari ॥ 28 ॥
Gaj vahan Lakshmi grih aave ।
hay te sukh sampati upjave ॥ 29 ॥
Gardabh hani kare bahu kaja
singh sidhakar raj samaja ॥ 30 ॥
Jambuk budhi nasht kar daare ।
mrig de kasht pran sanhare ॥ 31 ॥
Jab avahe svan savari ।
chori aadi hoe dae bhari ॥ 32 ॥
Taisi chari charan yah nama ।
svarn lauh chandi aru tama ॥ 33 ॥
Lauh aharan par jab Prabhu aave ।
dhan jan sampati nasht karave ॥ 34 ॥
Samta tamra rajat shubhkari ।
svarn sarvasukh mangal bhari ॥ 35 ॥
Jo yah Shani Charitra nit gave ।
kabhu na dasha nikrisht satave ॥ 36 ॥
Adbhut nath dikhave leela ।
kare shatru ke nashi bali dhila ॥ 37 ॥
Jo Pandit suyogya bulavi ।
vidhivat Shani Grah shanti karai ॥ 38 ॥
Peepal jal Shani divas chadhavat ।
deep daan hai bahu sukh ॥ 39 ॥
Kehat Ram sundar Prabhu Dasa ।
Shani sumirat sukh hot prakasha ॥ 40 ॥
॥ Doha ॥
Path Shanishchar Dev ko ki ho bhagat taiyara ।
Karat path Chalis din ho bhavsagar paara ॥
