Mala de kaleche vurdaan devi Bless me , O Goddess, so that I may attain [skill in art]
Mala de kaleche vurdaan devi Bless me , O Goddess, so that I may attain [skill in art]
Swaranchi hi aarti, avhaan devi Let me invoke Your name with musical notes, [O] Goddess
Layeche hain lavanya Behold ! the mellifluent cadence
Vaibhav sruti chain The majesty of harmony
Sangeet abhushan sanskriti chain Music truly graces any culture
Swara pakhadi, chanda udyan Devi Musical notes flutter like petals in the garden of poetry, [O] Goddess
Sapta suranchi hi shrankhala Behold this bond of seven notes
Sadhak ramai toh jaga visarla It enthrals and hypnotises Your devotee
Sangeet hain mum praan Devi Music, it is my life [O] Goddess
Shashwat raho he swara madhuri Let the luscious notes of music remain timeless
Iccha hi majhi karashil puri I entreat You ! will You not heed this request ?
Shamal swaroop tujhain too mahan Devi Graceful as You are, so are You exalted, [O] Goddess
