Durga Chalisa Lyrics in Hindi
नमो नमो दुर्गे सुख करनी,
नमो नमो अम्बे दुःख हरनी ।
निरंकार है ज्योति तुम्हारी,
तिहूँ लोक फैली उजियारी ।
शशि ललाट मुख महाविशाला,
नेत्र लाल भृकुटि विकराला ।
रूप मातु को अधिक सुहावे,
दरश करत जन अति सुख पावे ।
तुम संसार शक्ति लै कीना,
पालन हेतु अन्न धन दीना ।
अन्नपूर्णा हुई जग पाला,
तुम ही आदि सुन्दरी बाला ।
प्रलयकाल सब नाशन हारी,
तुम गौरी शिवशंकर प्यारी ।
शिव योगी तुम्हरे गुण गावें,
ब्रह्मा विष्णु तुम्हें नित ध्यावें ।
रूप सरस्वती को तुम धारा,
दे सुबुद्धि ऋषि मुनिन उबारा ।
धरयो रूप नरसिंह को अम्बा,
परगट भई फाड़कर खम्बा ।
रक्षा करि प्रह्लाद बचायो,
हिरण्याक्ष को स्वर्ग पठायो ।
लक्ष्मी रूप धरो जग माहीं,
श्री नारायण अंग समाहीं ।
क्षीरसिन्धु में करत विलासा,
दयासिन्धु दीजै मन आसा ।
हिंगलाज में तुम्हीं भवानी,
महिमा अमित न जात बखानी ।
मातंगी अरु धूमावति माता,
भुवनेश्वरी बगला सुख दाता ।
श्री भैरव तारा जग तारिणी,
छिन्न भाल भव दुःख निवारिणी ।
केहरि वाहन सोह भवानी,
लांगुर वीर चलत अगवानी ।
कर में खप्पर खड्ग विराजै,
जाको देख काल डर भाजै ।
सोहै अस्त्र और त्रिशूला,
जाते उठत शत्रु हिय शूला ।
नगरकोट में तुम्हीं विराजत,
तिहुँलोक में डंका बाजत ।
शुम्भ निशुम्भ दानव तुम मारे,
रक्तबीज शंखन संहारे ।
महिषासुर नृप अति अभिमानी,
जेहि अघ भार मही अकुलानी ।
रूप कराल कालिका धारा,
सेन सहित तुम तिहि संहारा ।
परी गाढ़ सन्तन पर जब जब,
भई सहाय मातु तुम तब तब ।
अमरपुरी अरु बासव लोका,
तब महिमा सब रहें अशोका ।
ज्वाला में है ज्योति तुम्हारी,
तुम्हें सदा पूजें नरनारी ।
प्रेम भक्ति से जो यश गावें,
दुःख दारिद्र निकट नहिं आवें ।
ध्यावे तुम्हें जो नर मन लाई,
जन्ममरण ताकौ छुटि जाई ।
जोगी सुर मुनि कहत पुकारी,
योग न हो बिन शक्ति तुम्हारी ।
शंकर आचारज तप कीनो,
काम अरु क्रोध जीति सब लीनो ।
निशिदिन ध्यान धरो शंकर को,
काहु काल नहिं सुमिरो तुमको ।
शक्ति रूप का मरम न पायो,
शक्ति गई तब मन पछितायो ।
शरणागत हुई कीर्ति बखानी,
जय जय जय जगदम्ब भवानी ।
भई प्रसन्न आदि जगदम्बा,
दई शक्ति नहिं कीन विलम्बा ।
मोको मातु कष्ट अति घेरो,
तुम बिन कौन हरै दुःख मेरो ।
आशा तृष्णा निपट सतावें,
मोह मदादिक सब बिनशावें ।
शत्रु नाश कीजै महारानी,
सुमिरौं इकचित तुम्हें भवानी ।
करो कृपा हे मातु दयाला,
ऋद्धिसिद्धि दै करहु निहाला ।
जब लगि जिऊँ दया फल पाऊँ,
तुम्हरो यश मैं सदा सुनाऊँ ।
श्री दुर्गा चालीसा जो कोई गावै,
सब सुख भोग परमपद पावै ।
देवीदास शरण निज जानी,
कहु कृपा जगदम्ब भवानी ।
।। दोहा ।।
शरणागत रक्षा करे,
भक्त रहे नि:शंक,
मैं आया तेरी शरण में,
मातु लिजिये अंक ।
।। इति श्री दुर्गा चालीसा ।।
