Lyrics (Devanagari)
जय अम्बे गौरी, मैया जय श्यामा गौरी।
तुमको निशिदिन ध्यावत, हरि ब्रह्मा शिवरी॥
मांग सिन्दूर विराजत, टीको मृगमद को।
उज्ज्वल से दोऊ नैना, चन्द्र-वदन नीको॥
कनक समान कलेवर, रक्ताम्बर राजै।
रक्तपुष्प गल माला, कण्ठन पर साजै॥
English Transliteration
Jai Ambe Gauri, Maiya Jai Shyama Gauri
Tumko nishidin dhyaavat, Hari Brahma Shivari
Maang sindoor virajat, Teeko mrugamad ko
Ujjwal se do-oo naina, Chandra-vadan neeko
Kanak samaan kalevar, Raktambar raajai
Raktapushp gal maala, Kanthan par saajai
Meaning
Hail to Mother Ambe Gauri, Hail to Shyama Gauri. Hari (Vishnu), Brahma, and Shiva meditate upon you day and night. The sindoor adorns your parting; the kasturi tilak gleams on your forehead. Your eyes are radiant, your face like the moon. Golden is your form, draped in crimson; a garland of red flowers shines upon your neck.
