जयति शंभु सुत गौरी नंदन । विघ्न हरन नासन भव फंदन ॥ 

जय गणनायक जनसुख दायक । विश्व विनायक बुद्धि विधायक ॥ 

Glory to you - O son of Shambhu and delight of Gauri be, 

Demolisher of all fears and deliverer from rebirth truly,  

Shiva's henchmen leader, happiness provider to devotees,  

Destroyer of ignorance and giver of knowledge universally! 

एक रदन गज बदन विराजत । वक्रतुंड शुचि शुंड सुसाजत ॥ 

तिलक त्रिपुण्ड भाल शशि सोहत । छबि लखि सुर नर मुनि मन मोहत ॥ 

The single tusk adorned on your sacred trunk dazzling fully, 

Crescent-shaped triple mark on your forehead adorable be, 

The celestials, men and ascetics who behold you clearly, 

Be engulfed in your loveliness forever in blissful eternity. 

उर मणिमाल सरोरुह लोचन । रत्न मुकुट सिर सोच विमोचन ॥ 

कर कुठार शुचि सुभग त्रिशूलम् । मोदक भोग सुगंधित फूलम् ॥ 

You adore jewels garland, your eyes a full-blown lotus beauty, 

On your head crown of gems, freeing devotees from anxiety, 

Holding a sacred axe, a striking trident in your hands clearly,  

Fragrant blossom flowers and sweet 'laddus' your delicacies. 

सुंदर पीताम्बर तन साजित । चरण पादुका मुनि मन राजित ॥ 

धनि शिव सुवन भुवन सुख दाता । गौरी ललन षडानन भ्राता ॥ 

O Kaartikeya's brother - beloved son of Shiva and Gauri, 

Attired in your beautiful yellow silken dress so elegantly, 

Wearing wooden sandals studded with gems beautifully, 

You are the source of the blessings of the world totally. 

ॠद्धि सिद्धि तव चंवर सुढारहिं । मूषक वाहन सोहित द्वारहिं ॥ 

तव महिमा को बरनै पारा । जन्म चरित्र विचित्र तुम्हारा ॥ 

Over you wave royal chowries accomplishment and prosperity,
