Durga Chalisa

 Durga Chalisa in Hindi





Namo Namo Durge Sukh karani,
Namo Namo ambe Dukh harani.

Nirakar hai jyoti tumhari,

Tihun lok pheli ujayari.

Shashi lalat mukh mahavishala,

Netra lal bhrikutee vikarala.

Roop Matu ko adhika suhave,

Daras karat jan ati sukh pave.

Tum sansar shakti laya kina,

Palan hetu anna dhan dina.

Annapurna hui jag pala,

Tumhi adi sundari Bala.

Pralaya kala sab nashan hari,

Tum gauri Shiv-Shankar pyari.

Shiv yogi tumhre guna gaven,

Brahma Vishnu tumhen nit dhyaven

Roop Saraswati ko tum dhara,

De subuddhi rishi munina ubara.

Dharyo roop Narsimha ko amba,

Pragat bhayin phar kar khamba.

Raksha kari Prahlaad bachayo,

Hiranakush ko swarga pathayo.

Lakshmi roop dharo jag mahin,

Shree Narayan anga samihahin.

Ksheer sindhu men karat vilasa,

Daya Sindhu, deeje man asa.

Hingalaja men tumhin Bhavani,

Mahima amit na jet bakhani.

Matangi Dhoomavati Mata,

Bhuvneshwari bagala sukhdata.

Shree Bhairav lara jog tarani,

Chhinna Bhala bhav dukh nivarani.

Kehari Vahan soh Bhavani,

Langur Veer Chalat agavani.

Kar men khappar khadag viraje,

Jako dekh kal dan bhaje.

Sohe astra aur trishoola,

Jase uthata shatru hiya shoola.

Nagarkot men tumhi virajat,

Tihun lok men danka bajat.

Shumbhu Nishumbhu Danuja tum mare,

Rakta-beeja shankhan samhare.

Mahishasur nripa ati abhimani

Jehi agha bhar mahi akulani.

Roop karal Kalika dhara,

Sen Sahita tum tin samhara.

Pan garha Santan par jab jab,

Bhayi sahaya Matu tum tab tab.

Amarpuni aru basava loka,

Tava Mahirna sab rahen asoka.

Jwala men hai jyoti tumhari,

Tumhen sada poojen nar nari.

Prem bhakti se Jo yash gave,

Dukh-daridra nikat nahin ave.

Dhyave tumhen jo nar man laee,

Janam-maran tako chuti jaee.

Jogi sur-muni kahat pukari,

Jog na ho bin shakti tumhari.

Shankar Aacharaj tap keenhon,

Kam, krodha jeet sab leenhon.

Nisidin dhyan dharo Shankar ko,

Kahu kal nahini sumiro tum ko.

Shakti roop ko maran na payo,

Shakti gayi tab man pachitayo.

Sharnagat hui keerti bakhani,

Jai jai jai Jagdamb Bhavani.

Bhayi prasanna Aadi Jagdamba,

Dayi shakti nahin keen vilamba.

Mokon Matu kashta ati ghero,

Tum bin kaun hare dukh mero.

Aasha trishna nipat sataven,

Moh madadik sab binsaven.

Shatru nash keeje Maharani,

Sumiron ekachita tumhen Bhavani.

Karo kripa Hey Matu dayala,

Riddhi-Siddhi de karahu nihala.

Jab lagi jiyoon daya phal paoon

Tumhro yash men sada sunaoon.

Durga Chalisa jo gave,

Sab sukh bhog parampad pave.

Devidas sharan nij jani

Karahoun kripa jagadamba bhavani


English Translation of Durga Chalisa

I bow to You O Goddess Durga, the bestower of happiness!
I bow to You O Goddess Amba, who ends all miseries.

The radiance of your light is infinite and all encompassing and all the three

realms (Earth, Heaven And the Nether World) are enlightened by Thee.

Your face is like the moon and mouth very huge. Your eyes shine with a

red glow and You have a Frightening frown.

O Mother! Your look is enchanting, the very sight of which ensures welfare

of the devout.

All the powers of the World repose in Thee and it is You who provide food and

wealth for the World's survival.

Like the feeding Mother Annapoorna, You nurture the whole universe and You are the one who appears like the timeless Bala Sundari (young girl of extreme beauty).


At the time of dissolution, it is You, O Mother, who destroys everything. You are the beloved Consort of Lord Shiva, Gauri (Parvati).


Lord Shiva and all yogis always chant your praise Brahma,

Vishnu and all other Gods ever meditate on you.

You appear in the form of Goddess Saraswati too,

to grant wisdom to the sages and thus ensure their Welfare.

O Mother Amba! It was you who appeared in the form

of Narsimha, sundering the pillar.

Thus you saved Prahlad and Hiranyakashyap also went to

Heaven as he was killed by your Hands.

In the form of Goddess Lakshmi, O Mother, you appear in

this world and repose by the side of Shree Narayan.

Dwelling in the ocean of milk, O Goddess, with Lord Vishnu,

please fulfill my desires.

O Bhavani, the famous Goddess of Hingalaja is no one else but

you. Illimitable is your Glory, defying description.

You are yourself Matangi and Dhoomavati Mata. It is you, who appear as

Bhuvaneshwari and Bagalamukhi Devi to bestow happiness to all the people of this earth

It is you, who redeem the wolrd, appearing in the form of Shree Bhairavi,

Taradevi and Chhinnamasta Devi, and end its sorrows.

Reposing gracefully uopn your vehicle, O Goddess Bhavani, You are welcome

by the brave Langour (Lord Hanuman).

When you appear in the form of Goddess Kali, with sword in one hand and a

cupel in the other, even time flees in panic.

Beholding you, well armed, with a trident in your hand, the enemy's

heart aches with the sting Of fear.

You also repose in the form of Devi at Nagarkot in Kangara. Thus all the

three realms shudder in the might of your glory.

You slayed the demons like Shumbh & Nishumb and massacred the

thousand forms of the dreaded Demon Raktabeej.

When the earth was severely distressed bearing the load of the sins

of the arrogant Mahishasur.

You assumed the dreadful form of Goddess Kali and

massacred him along with his army.

Thus, whenever the noble saints were distressed,

it is You O Mother, who came to their rescue.

All the realms including the Amarpuri (divine realm) remain

sorrow-less and happy by Your Grace. O Goddess!

It is the symbol of your glory that is burning brightly at Shree JwalaJi.

All me and women Ever worship You, O Mother!

He who sings your glory with devotion, love, and sincerity remains

beyond the reach of grief And poverty.

He who meditates upon your form with concentration goes

beyond the cycle of births and deaths.

All the yogis, gods and sages openly declare that without your

favor one can't establish communion with God.

Shankaracharya had performed once a special penance called

Aacharaj and by virtue of which he had subdued his anger and desire.

He ever worshipped Lord Shankar and never for a moment

concentrated his mind on You.

Since He did not realise your immense glory, all his powers

waned and then He repented hitherto.

Then he sought refuge in you, chanted your glory and

'victory, victory, victory to Thee, O Jagadamba Bhavani'.

Then, O Primal Goddess Jagadamba Ji, you were propitiated and

in no time You bestowed Him with his lost powers.

O Mother! Severe afflictions distress me and no one except your

honored Self can provide relief please end my afflictions.

Hopes and longings ever torture me. All sorts of passions and

lust ever torment my heart.

O Goddess Bhavani! I meditate only upon you Please

kill my enemies O Queen!

O Merciful Mother! Show me your favour and make me feel

happy by bestowing me with all sorts of riches and powers.

O Mother! May I be receptable of Your grace as long as I live,

ever recounting the feats of Your Glory to all.

This way, whoever sings this Durga Chalisa shall ever enjoy all

sorts of pleasures and shall attain the highest state in the end.

Deeming Devidas to have sought Your shelter, O Bhavani, grant me Your favor.

Jai Maa Bhagwati!
