English Transliteration
Jai jai Gangaa Maiyaa tu more man men hain,
Patit paavani Gangaa tu sabke taaranahaaari.
Vaaraanasi ke ghaat par diyaa jalaain,
Gangaa Maiyaa ke aarati utaarin sab mil ke.
Pahaar se utarat aavelin Gangaa Maiyaa,
Bhaagirathi ke tapasyaa se dharti par aain.
Haridwaar Kaashi Patnaa se hot have,
Bangaal ke saagar men jaa ke milat have.
Dubaki lagaain paap sab dhulaain Maiyaa,
Man ke mail dho dein Gangaa Maiyaa.
Patnaa ke ghaat par bhor men aain,
Gangaa Maiyaa ke charan men shish nawaain.
Diyaa baati jalaain ham Gangaa tire,
Phool charhaain sange khare bhakt sab mile.
Gangaa Maiyaa ke mahimaa apaar baate,
Mukti de delin sabke je sharan men aavelen.
