🪐 Shani Chalisa — Complete Lyrics

The 40 chaupais of Saturn, God of Justice — Hindi and English

Glory to Ganesha, son of Girija, the benevolent remover of sorrow.
Remove the pain of the distressed, O Lord, and grant them happiness.
Victory, victory to Shani Dev, O Lord, hear this humble prayer.
Have mercy, O son of Surya, and protect the honour of your devotees.

Dark-limbed, with a crooked gaze, holding a bow.
Clad in blue, bearing bow and arrow in meditation.
Mounted on a vulture, fierce in nature.
Exerting influence over all the planets.
Son of Surya, child of Chhaya.
Elder brother of Yama, I bow to you.
Just dispenser of the fruits of karma.
Your fame is celebrated throughout the world.
You come in Dasha and Mahadasha periods.
Making all beings experience their karmic fruits.

Those who meditate on Shani.
Their troubles and sorrows all depart.
Those who offer oil and sesame.
Shani Dev is immediately pleased.
Those who come wearing black cloth.
They constantly receive your grace.
One who lights an iron lamp.
Shani Maharaj is instantly pleased.
Whoever donates urad dal.
All their sins are washed away.

Those who are devotees of Hanuman.
Shani never troubles them.
When Ravana imprisoned you.
Hanuman set you free.
Pleased, you gave your word.
"I shall always protect your devotees."
Those who come to the Shani temple.
And complete seven circumambulations.
They receive whatever their heart desires.
And their home fills with peace and happiness.

Those who worship on Shani Jayanti.
No sorrow will find a place in their life.
Those who read this during Sade Sati.
Even difficult times become lighter.
You teach discipline and patience.
You bring welfare to all.
O God of Justice, beloved by all.
For you, nothing is greater than karma.
Those who read Shani Chalisa daily.
Happiness grows in their life.

Victory, victory to Shri Shani Dev, bestow boundless grace.
Remove all troubles of your devotees and grant a blessed life.
