he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah

mahishasur ke atyacharo se dharti ka jan man dola
rishi muniyo ka aasan dola aur swarg ka indrasan dola
tab sabhi devtao ne mil kar shakti ek banayi thi
woh shakti hi awatar bani jo maa durga kahalayi thi
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah

thi sabhi lagi jagamaga rahi thi mata daso dishao me
talawar chakrr dhanush aur trishul sab saje the aath bhujao me
tab dev muni gir pade sabhi pag me aanand bhairavi ke
he mat bhawani ham sabki tu raksha kar mahishasur se
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah
he ambike jagadambike he maa namastasyai namastasyai namo namah

maa ne jab karu pukar suni shital naina angar huye
kesho ko aur bikher liya talwar trishul sanbhal liye
khappar le kar wo chamunda itt chhor kabhi utt chhor chali
khappar le kar wo chamunda is chhor kabhi us chhor chali
woh satya ki raksha karne ko aandhi bankar jhakjhor chali
woh satya ki raksha karne ko aandhi bankar jhakjhor chali
woh satya ki raksha karne ko aandhi bankar jhakjhor chali
he ambike jagadambike he maa he ambike he shiva bhawani maa
he ambike bhagawati bhawani maa he ambike jagadambike he maa

O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.

When Mahishasura's tyranny shook the earth's heart,
When sages' seats trembled, and Indra's throne did start,
The gods, united, forged a power, a light so grand,
That Shakti incarnate, as Durga, did command.
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.

She blazed, illuminating, in every direction's gleam,
With swords, chakras, bows, and tridents, a vision supreme,
Adorning eight arms, a divine display,
Devas and Munis prostrated, in reverence they lay.
O, Mother Bhavani, protect us, from Mahishasura's plight,
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, to You, salutations, again and again.

When the Mother heard the anguished plea,
Her serene eyes ignited with fiery decree,
Unleashing her tresses, a tempest unfurled,
With sword and trident, a force to be hurled,
Chamunda, with the skull-cup, moved across the sphere,
Chamunda, with the skull-cup, banished all fear.
To defend the truth, a storm she did become,
To defend the truth, the world's sorrow overcome,
To defend the truth, a hurricane's embrace.
O, Ambika, Mother, Shiva, Bhavani, grace.
O, Ambika, Bhagavati, Bhavani, divine,
O, Ambika, Mother of the World, forever thine.
