Refrain

जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा।

माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा॥

Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh Deva,

Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.

Victory to Lord Ganesha, whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadeva (Shiva).

Verse 1

एकदन्त दयावन्त, चार भुजाधारी।

माथे पर तिलक सोहे, मूसे की सवारी॥

Ekadant dayavant, char bhujadhari,

Mathe par tilak sohe, muse ki savari.

The single-tusked, compassionate Lord with four arms; a tilak adorns his forehead and the mouse is his mount.

Verse 2

पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े, और चढ़े मेवा।

लड्डुअन का भोग लगे, सन्त करें सेवा॥

Paan chadhe phool chadhe, aur chadhe meva,

Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant karen seva.

Betel leaves, flowers, and dry fruits are offered; laddus are presented as bhog while the devotees render their service.

Verse 3

अँधे को आँख देत, कोढ़िन को काया।

बाँझन को पुत्र देत, निर्धन को माया॥

Andhe ko aankh det, kodhin ko kaya,

Banjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya.

He gives sight to the blind and a healed body to the leper, a son to the childless and wealth to the poor.

Verse 4

'सूर' श्याम शरण आए, सफल कीजे सेवा।

माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा॥

'Sur' Shyam sharan aaye, safal kije seva,

Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.

The poet Sur (Surdas) has come to your refuge — make his service fruitful, O Lord whose mother is Parvati and father is Mahadeva.

Verse 5

दीनन की लाज राखो, शम्भु सुतवारी।

कामना को पूर्ण करो, जग बलिहारी॥

Deenan ki laaj rakho, Shambhu sutvari,

Kamana ko purna karo, jag balihari.

Protect the honour of the humble, O son of Shambhu (Shiva); fulfil our wishes — the whole world is devoted to you.
