Jwaala si jalti hai aankhon mein
Jiske bhi dil mein tera naam hai
Parwaah hi kya, uska aarambh kaisa hai
Aur kaisa parinaam hai
Dharti, ambar, sitaare uski nazrein utaare
Dar bhi usse dara re
Jiski jiski rakhwaaliya re karta saaya tera
Hey, deva shree Ganesha, deva shree Ganesha
Deva shree Ganesha, deva shree Ganesha (X3)
Ho, teri bhakti toh vardaan hai
Jo kamaye wo dhanwaan hai
Bin kinaare ki kashti hai wo
Deva, tujhse jo anjaan hai
Yun toh mooshak sawaari teri
Sab pe hai pehredaari teri
Paap ki aandhiyaan laakh ho
Kabhi jyoti na haari teri
Apni takdeer ka wo khud sikandar hua re
Bhool ke yeh jahan re
Jis kisi ne yahan re saath paaya re
Hey, deva shree Ganesha, deva shree Ganesha
Deva shree Ganesha, deva shree Ganesha (X3)
Ho, teri dhooli ka teeka kiye
Deva, jo bhakt tera jeeye
Use amrit ka hai moh kya
Has ke vish ka wo pyaala piye
Teri mahima ki chhaya tale
Kaal ke rath ka pahiya chale
Ek chingaari pratishodh se
Khadi Ravan ki Lanka jale
Shatruon ki kataarein ik akele se haare
Kan bhi parwat hua re
Shlok ban ke jahan re naam aaya tera
Hey, deva shree Ganesha, deva shree Ganesha
Deva shree Ganesha, deva shree Ganesha (X3)
