lalite tum ho jyotit bhaala. bhaktajanon ka kaam sambhaala..
bhaaree sankat jab-jab aae. unase tumane bhakt bachae..
jisane krpa tumhaaree paee. usakee sab vidhi se ban aaee..
sankat door karo maan bhaaree. bhaktajanon ko aas tumhaaree..
tripureshvaree, shailaja, bhavaanee. jay-jay-jay shiv kee mahaaraanee..
yog siddhi paaven sab yogee. bhogen bhog maha sukh bhogee..
krpa tumhaaree paake maata. jeevan sukhamay hai ban jaata..
dukhiyon ko tumane apanaaya. maha moodh jo sharan na aaya..

kul yoginee, kundalinee roopa. leela lalite karen anoopa..
maha-maheshvaree, mahaashakti de. tripur-sundaree sada bhakti de..
maha maha-nande kalyaanee. mookon ko detee ho vaanee..
ichchha-gyaan-kriya ka bhaagee. hota tab seva anuraagee..
jo lalite tera gun gaave. use na koee kasht sataave..
sarv mangale jvaala-maalinee. tum ho sarvashakti sanchaalinee..
aaya maan jo sharan tumhaaree. vipada haree usee kee saaree..
naama karshinee, chinta karshinee. sarv mohinee sab sukh-varshinee..
mahima tav sab jag vikhyaata. tum ho dayaamayee jag maata..

aanand, sukh, sampatti detee ho. kasht bhayaanak har letee ho..
man se jo jan tumako dhyaave. vah turant man vaanchhit paave..
lakshmee, durga tum ho kaalee. tumheen shaarada chakr-kapaalee..
moolaadhaar, nivaasinee jay-jay. sahasraar gaaminee maan jay-jay..

chandr-dhaarinee, naimishvaasinee. krpa karo lalite adhanaashinee..
bhaktajanon ko daras dikhao. sanshay bhay sab sheeghr mitao..
jo koee padhe lalita chaaleesa. hove sukh aanand adheesa..
jis par koee sankat aave. paath kare sankat mit jaave..
dhyaan laga padhe ikkees baara. poorn manorath hove saara..
putraheen santati sukh paave. nirdhan dhanee bane gun gaave..

shraddha se sir naay kare karate tumhen pranaam
