pyasi dharti tujhe pukare, ganga jal ko tarse
tumhe kasam un balidano ki, utro maa amber se
utro maa amber se

teri shakti se bhagirath ki bhakti aaj ladegi
teri shakti se bhagirath ki bhakti aaj ladegi
meri aan hathili hai maa tujhko nibhani padegi
swarg se utro dhara par punaymayi vasundhara par
swarg se utro dhara par punaymayi vasundhara par
maa gange maa gange maa gange
maa gange maa gange

karu main tumhari aaradhna, safal karo meri saadhna
tirath ban aao gange, lahrao taral tarange
karu main tumhari aaradhna
meri prathna aaj gagan ki, chhati chir chadhegi
meri aan hathili hai maa, tujhko nibhani padegi
swarg se utro dhara par, punaymayi vasundhara par
swarg se utro dhara par, punaymayi vasundhara par
maa gange maa gange maa gange
maa gange maa gange

bhasm jo ho gaye shrap se na jane kis paap se
maiya tere bin aaye unhe mukti kaun dilaye
bhasm jo ho gaye shrap se
aaj agar na aayi to phir apni baat badhegi
meri aan hathili hai maa tujhko nibhani padegi
swarg se utro dhara par punaymayi vasundhara par
swarg se utro dhara par punaymayi vasundhara par
teri shakti se bhagirath ki bhakti aaj ladegi
meri aan hathili hai maa tujhko nibhani padegi
swarg se utro dhara par punaymayi vasundhara par
swarg se utro dhara par punaymayi vasundhara par
maa gange maa gange maa gange
maa gange maa gange
jhar jhar jhar jhar dharti
jhar jhar jhar jhar dharti
utro gang bharke tarang, ujwal kar do dharti ka rang
himgir par dekho raho gaaj
dam dam dam dam damru raha baaj
aao ambar se dol dol
shiv sambhu khade hai jata khol
swagat kar tujhe mana lenge
tujhe apni jata me sama lenge
maa kal kal chhal chhal
apna nirmal jal chhalkati aao
chattano pashano par nij dhara lahrati aao
yug yug se pyasi dharti ki maa pyas bujhane aao
is bhakt bhagirath ke bharat ko bhavay banane aao
bhavay banane aao
har har gange maa gange
har har gange maa gange
har har gange maa gange
har har gange maa gange

The thirsty earth, a longing sigh, for Ganga's water, yearns and cries.
By oaths of sacrifice, so grand, descend, O Mother, from the land
Descend, O Mother, from the land.

With your divine, unfailing grace, Bhagirath's devotion finds its place.
With your divine, unfailing grace, Bhagirath's devotion finds its place.
My honor, Mother, fierce and bold, a promise you must now unfold.
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga
Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga.

I offer you my humble prayer, my penance, Mother, beyond compare.
Become a sacred, flowing stream, let liquid waves now gleam and dream.
I offer you my humble prayer.
My prayer ascends, a soaring plea, that cleaves the heavens, wild and free.
My honor, Mother, fierce and bold, a promise you must now unfold.
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga
Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga.

Those turned to ash, by curses bound, by sins unknown, on hallowed ground,
Without you, Mother, who will keep, and grant them solace, in their sleep?
Those turned to ash, by curses bound.
If you delay, our words will grow, and sorrows in their fullness flow.
My honor, Mother, fierce and bold, a promise you must now unfold.
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
With your divine, unfailing grace, Bhagirath's devotion finds its place.
My honor, Mother, fierce and bold, a promise you must now unfold.
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Descend from heavens, pure and bright, upon the blessed earth's embrace,
Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga
Mother Ganga, Mother Ganga.
Drip, drip, drip, the earth does weep,
Drip, drip, drip, the earth does weep.
Descend, O Ganga, waves unfurl, and paint the earth with light, a whirl.
On Himalayan peaks, behold, the thunder's echo, stories told.
The drums of Shiva, beat and call, the dance of creation, embracing all.
Come from the heavens, gently sway,
Lord Shiva waits to pave your way.
He'll welcome you, with open hand,
And hold you in his sacred strand.
Mother, kal kal, splash, splash, flow,
Your pure, translucent waters show.
Over rocks and stones, your currents leap,
Across the ages, secrets to keep.
Quench the earth's thirst, long endured,
And bless Bhagirath's Bharat, assured.
Bharat, assured.
Har Har Gange, Mother Ganga,
Har Har Gange, Mother Ganga,
Har Har Gange, Mother Ganga,
Har Har Gange, Mother Ganga.
