MEANING

II Na Mantram No Yantram Tadapi Cha Na Jane Stutimaho Na Chavhanam Dhyanam Tadapi Cha Na Jane Stutikathah I
Na Jane Mudraste Tadapi Cha Na Jane Vilapanam Param Jane Matastvadanusaranam Kleshaharanam II

O Maa Durga! I don't know any prayer or any magical summons to invoke you. Neither I know any mantra and have no idea how to meditate on you. I don't know your story or glory as well. I neither know your various postures nor am I given to crying in distress. The only thing I know is that seeking shelter under your protection and following your command will definitely end all sufferings.

II Vidheragyanen Dravinavirhenalasataya Vidheyashakyatvattva Charanyorya Chyutirbhut I
Tadetat Kshantavyam Janani Sakaloddharini Shive Kuputro Jayet Kwachidapi Kumata Na Bhavti II

O Durga, assure salvation to all troubled, I don't know how to worship you. I don't have resources or temperament since I am nasty by nature. I don't have special knowledge to conduct your worship as well. In rendering service to you if, I have made any mistakes or errors, forgive me Mother because there could be a bad son but never a bad mother.

Prithivyam Putraste Janani Vahavaha Santi Saralah Param Tesham Madhye Viralataraloaham Tava Sutah I
Madi Yoayam Tyagah Samuchitamidam No Taya Shive Kuputro Kwachidapi Kumata Na Bhavati II

O Maa Durga, this earth has many of your naïve sons, but I am the most fickle among them. There would be hardly any one like me. Yet, O Shive! Rejecting me like this is not proper in this world, as there could be a bad son but never a bad mother.

Jaganmatarmatastava Charanseva Na Rachita Na Va Duttam Devi Dravinamapi Bhooyastava Maya I
Tathapi Tvam Sneham Mayi Nirupam Yatprakurushe Kuputro Jayet Kwachidapi Kumata Na Bhavati II

O Mother of the World! I have never rendered any service to you. I never offered money to you. Yet, you bless me always for the reason that in this world there could be a bad son but never a bad mother.

Chitabhasmalepo Garalamashanam Dikpatdharo Jatadhari Kanthe Bhujagapati Hari Paushupatih I
Kapali Bhootesho Bhajati Jagdeeshai Ka Padavin Bhavani Tvatpanigrahan Paripati Phal Midam II

O Durga Bhavani! The one, who keeps his body smeared with the ashes of the dead-bodies; who takes poison for food, who remains naked; who has matted hair on head and the serpent king Vasuki surrounding his neck; who has a cupal like container in his hands. If such a Bhootnath, Lord Shiva (Pashupati-Lord of Animals) is crowned with a title of Jagdeesh, then what is the reason behind it? How did he gain such importance? The clear evidence is your marriage with him.

Atastvan Sanyache Janani Jananam Yatu Mum Vai Mridani Rudrani Shiv-Shiv Bhavaneeti Japatah II

O Maa Durga, with face of moon's elegance, I don't crave for Salvation or for material possessions. I don't even hope to get any expertise in sciences. I don't long for pleasure as well. My only request to you is to permit me to pass my entire life chanting "Mridani Rudrani Shiva-Shiva Bhavani".

Naradhitasi Vidhina Vividhopachareh Kim Rukshachintak Pareirna Kritam Vachobhib I
Shayme Tvameva Yadi Kinchan Maiyyanathe Dhatse Kripamuchitalam Param Tavaiva II

O Maa Shyama! I never worshipped you with complete rituals or lots of offerings. I was always occupied in harsh words, which crime did my speech not commit? Yet, if you care for this shelter less orphan on your own, this is eligible only for you. Only a kind hearted mother like you can give refuge to such a bad son, as I am.

Aapatsu Magnah Smaranam Tvadeeyam Karomi Durge Karunarna Veshi I
Naitaccha Thatvam Mum Methah Kshudhartrisharta Jananim Smaranti II

O Compassionate Goddess Durga! If I remember you after falling in trouble and not before, please do not treat me like a dishonest rogue for the reason that all children yell for mother when they are troubled.

Jagdamb Vichitramatra Kim Paripoorna Karunaasti Chenmayi I
Aparadha Parampara Param Na Hi Mata Samupekshate Sutam II

O Mother of the World! If you still show your kindness towards me should not cause any surprise for the reason, if a son has bent on committing sin after sin, still his mother does not abandon him.

O Maa Durga! I am the greatest sinner and you are the greatest sin-destroyer. Considering this fact in mind, kindly do whatever you think proper.

Namo Namo Durge Sukh karani,
Namo Namo ambe Dukh harani. 1

Nirakar hai jyoti tumhari,
Tihun lok pheli ujayari. 2

Shashi lalat mukh mahavishala,
Netra lal bhrikutee vikarala. 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 kala sab nashan hari,
Tum gauri Shiv-Shankar pyari. 7

Shiv yogi tumhre guna gaven,
Brahma Vishnu tumhen nit dhyaven. 8

Roop Saraswati ko tum dhara,
De subuddhi rishi munina ubara. 9

Dharyo roop Narsimha ko amba,
Pragat bhayin phar kar khamba. 10

Raksha kari Prahlaad bachayo,
Hiranakush ko swarga pathayo. 11

Lakshmi roop dharo jag mahin,
Shree Narayan anga samihahin. 12

Ksheer sindhu men karat vilasa,
Daya Sindhu, deeje man asa. 13

Hingalaja men tumhin Bhavani,
Mahima amit na jet bakhani. 14

Matangi Dhoomavati Mata,
Bhuvneshwari bagala sukhdata. 15

Chhinna Bhala bhav dukh nivarani. 16

Kehari Vahan soh Bhavani,
Langur Veer Chalat agavani. 17

Jako dekh kal dan bhaje. 18

Jase uthata shatru hiya shoola. 19

Tihun lok men danka bajat. 20

Sen Sahita tum tin samhara. 23

Pan garha Santon par jab jab,
Bhayi sahaya Matu tum tab tab. 24

Amarpuni aru basava loka,
Tava Mahirna sab rahen asoka. 25

Jwala men hai jyoti tumhari,
Tumhen sada poojen nar nari. 26

Prem bhakti se Jo yash gave,
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, krodha jeet sab leenhon. 30

Nisidin dhyan dharo Shankar ko,
Kahu kal nahini sumiro tum ko. 31

Shakti roop ko maran 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

Mokon Matu kashta ati ghero,
Tum bin kaun hare dukh mero. 35

Aasha 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,
Tumhro yash men sada sunaoon. 39

Durga Chalisa jo gave,
Sab sukh bhog parampad pave. 40

Durga Chalisa Hindi Lyrics

श्री दुर्गा चालीसा

नमो नमो दुर्गे सुख करनी । नमो नमो अम्बे दुख हरनी ॥

निराकार है ज्योति तुम्हारी । तिहुँ लोक फैली उजियारी ॥
शशि ललाट मुख महा विशाला । नेत्र लाल भृकुटी विकराला ॥

रुप मातु को अधिक सुहावे । दरश करत जन अति सुख पावे ॥
तुम संसार शक्ति लय कीना । पालन हेतु अन्न धन दीना ॥

अन्नपूरना हुई जग पाला । तुम ही आदि सुन्दरी बाला ॥
प्रलय काल सब नाशन हारी । तुम गौरी शिव शंकर प्यारी ॥

शिव योगी तुम्हरे गुण गावैं । ब्रह्मा विष्णु तुम्हें नित ध्यावैं ॥
रुप सरस्वती को तुम धारा । दे सुबुद्धि ॠषि मुनिन उबारा ॥

धरा रुप नरसिंह को अम्बा । परगत भई फाड़ कर खम्बा ॥
रक्षा करि प्रहलाद बचायो । हिरणाकुश को स्वर्ग पठायो ॥

लक्ष्मी रूप धरो जग माहीं । श्री नारायण अंग समाहीं ॥
क्षीरसिंधु में करत विलासा । दयासिंधु दीजै मन आसा ॥

हिंगलाज में तुम्हीं भवानी । महिमा अमित न जात बखानी ॥
मातंगी धूमावती माता । भुवनेश्वरि बगला सुख दाता ॥

श्री भैरव तारा जग तारिणी । क्षिन्न लाल भवदुख निवारिणी ॥
केहरि वाहन सोहे भवानी ।लांगुर वीर चलत अगवानी ।।

कर में खप्पर खड़ग विराजै । जाको देख काल डर भाजै ॥
सोहे अस्त्र और त्रिसूला । जाते उठत शत्रु हिय शूला ॥

नगरकोट में तुम्हीं विराजत । तिहुँ लोक में डंका बाजत ॥
शुम्भ निशुम्भ दानव तुम मारे । रक्तबीज शंखन संहारे ॥

महिषासुर नृप अति अभिमानी । जेहि अघ भार मही अकुलानी ॥
रुप कराल काली को धारा । सेन सहित तुम तिहि संहारा ॥

परी गाढ़ सन्तन पर जब जब । भई सहाय मातु तुम तब तब ॥
अमर पुरी औरों सब लोका । तब महिमा सब रहे अशोका ॥

ज्वाला में है ज्योति तुम्हारी । तुम्हें सदा पूजैं नर नारी ॥
प्रेम भक्ति से जो जस गावै । दुःख दारिद्र निकट नहीं आवै ॥

ध्यावें तुम्हें जो नर मन लाई । जन्म मरण ताको छुट जाई ॥
जोगी सुर मुनि कहत पुकारी । योग न हो बिन शक्ति तुम्हारी ॥

शंकर आचारज तप कीनों । काम क्रोध जीति सब लीनों ॥
निशि दिन ध्यान धरो शंकर को । काहु काल नहिं सुमिरो तुमको ॥

शक्ति रुप को मरम न पायो । शक्ति गई तब मन पछतायो ॥
शरणागत हुई कीर्ति बखानी । जै जै जै जगदम्ब भवानी ॥

भई प्रसन्न आदि जगदम्बा । दई शक्ति नहिं कीन विलम्बा ॥
मोको मात कष्ट अति घेरो । तुम बिन कौन हरे दुःख मेरो ॥

आशा तृष्णा निपट सतावै । रिपु मूरख मोहि अति डर पावै ॥
शत्रु नाश कीजै महारानी । सुमिरौ इकचित तुम्हें भवानी ॥

करो कृपा हे मातु दयाला । ॠद्धि सिद्धि दे करहु निहाला ॥
जब लगि जियौं दया फल पाऊँ । तुम्हरो जस मैं सदा सुनाऊँ ॥

दुर्गा चालीसा जो कोई गावै । सब सुख भोग परम पद पावै ॥
देवीदास शरण निज जानी । करहु कृपार जगदम्बा भवानी ॥
