Shambhu Nath
Jai Jai Bholenath Shambhu · MahaShivRatri
Lyrics
Stotra
Karpura gauram karunaavataram
White as camphor, incarnation of compassion
Samsara saaram bhujagendra haaram
Essence of the world, wearing the serpent-king as a garland
Sada vasantam hridayaravinde
Always dwelling in the lotus of the heart
Bhavam Bhavani sahitam namami
I bow to Bhava together with Bhavani
Chorus
Tere sar pe Ganga ki dhara
On Your head, the stream of the Ganga
Mathe pe chaand chakora
On Your brow, the moon like a chakora
Ghoonje hai naad Shambhu Nath re
The sound resounds — Shambhu Nath
Tere sar pe Ganga ki dhara
On Your head, the stream of the Ganga
Mathe pe chaand chakora
On Your brow, the moon like a chakora
Ghoonje hai naad Shambhu Nath re
The sound resounds — Shambhu Nath

Verse 1
Man mein basa hai roop tera
Your form lives in the mind
Kitna sundar hai, kitna sundar hai
How beautiful it is, how beautiful it is
Aadi na ant hai, sabke andar hai
Without beginning or end — You are within all
Sabke andar hai
You are within all
Peekar khud hi vish ka pyala
Drinking the cup of poison Yourself
Duniya ko amrit de dala
You gave nectar to the world
Mera Shiv hai bhola bhala Bholenath ji
My Shiva is simple and kind — Bholenath ji
Chorus
Tere sar pe Ganga ki dhara
On Your head, the stream of the Ganga
Mathe pe chaand chakora
On Your brow, the moon like a chakora
Ghoonje hai naad Shambhu Nath re
The sound resounds — Shambhu Nath

Verse 2
Dwaar daya ke kholo
Open the door of compassion
Hamko tera sahara hai
We have Your support
Tera sahara hai
We have Your support
Bhav sagar ho paar
Carry us across the ocean of worldly life
Dil ne tumhe pukara hai
The heart has called out to You
Tumhe pukara hai
Has called out to You
Karo kripa Trishul-dhari, tum bhakton ke kaivari
Have mercy, Bearer of the trident, protector of devotees
Tumko pooje duniya saari Bholenath ji
The whole world worships You, Bholenath ji
Chorus
Tere sar pe Ganga ki dhara
On Your head, the stream of the Ganga
Mathe pe chaand chakora
On Your brow, the moon like a chakora
