Ambe Tu Hai Jagdambe Kali,
Jai Durge Khappar Wali ।
Tere Hi Gun Gaaye BhAarti,
O Maiya, Hum Sab Utarey Teri Aarti ॥
Tere Jagat Ke Bhakt Janan Par,
Bhid Padi Hai Bhari Maa ।
Daanav Dal Par Toot Pado,
Maa Karke Singh Sawari ।
So-So Singho Se Tu Balshali,
Asth Bhujao Wali,
Dushton Ko Pal Mein Sangharti ।
O Maiya, Hum Sab Utarey Teri Aarti ॥
Maa Bete Ka Hai Ish Jag Mein,
Bada Hi Nirmal Nata ।
Poot Kaput Sune Hai Par Na,
Mata Suni Kumata ॥
Sab Par Karuna Darshaney Wali,
Amrut Barsaney Wali
Dukhiyon Ke Dukhdae Nivarti ।
O Maiya, Hum Sab Utarey Teri Aarti ॥
Nahi Maangtey Dhan Aur Daulat,
Na Chaandi Na Sona Maa ।
Hum To Maangey Maa Tere Man Mein,
Ek Chota Sa Kona ॥
Sabki Bigdi Banane Wali,
Laaj Bachane Wali,
Satiyo Ke Sat Ko Sanvarti ।
O Maiya, Hum Sab Utarey Teri Aarti ॥
