Lyrics

Main sumiro Shaarada ho devi

I worship you, O Goddess Sharada, root of all the gods

Sab devan ki moola

Worship the ancient flame of Vindhyachal

Aadi joti Vindhyachal sumiro

Equal to the feet of Goddess Kali

Kaali charan sam toola

The eight-armed goddess, Heeng Laj,

Asht bhuja aru Hinglaaj ko

To whom we offer betel leaf and flowers

Jaako chadhai paan phoola

You give joy to those who remember you —

Chauharaja sukh daayak sumiro

Do not forget your cool divine feet

Sheetal charan na bhoola

Those who take refuge at the queen’s eternal feet

Sarvroop maharaani charan ko

Have their pains cut away as by a trident

Sharan gaye kalesh oola

Meaning

I worship you, O Goddess Sharada, root of all the gods

Worship the ancient flame of Vindhyachal Equal to the feet of Goddess Kali

The eight-armed goddess, Heeng Laj, To whom we offer betel leaf and flowers

You give joy to those who remember you — Do not forget your cool divine feet

Those who take refuge at the queen’s eternal feet Have their pains cut away as by a trident
