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

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

Tere sar pe Ganga ki dhara

On Your head, the stream of the Ganga
