Victory to Lord Ganesha, whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadeva (Shiva).
एकदंत दयावंत, चार भुजा धारी। माथे सिंदूर सोहे, मूसे की सवारी॥
Ekadant dayavant, chaar bhuja dhaari, Maathe sindoor sohe, moose ki sawaari.
The single-tusked, compassionate Lord with four arms; vermilion adorns His forehead, and the mouse is His vehicle.
पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े, और चढ़े मेवा। लड्डुअन का भोग लगे, संत करें सेवा॥
Paan chadhe phool chadhe, aur chadhe meva, Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant karein seva.
Betel leaves, flowers and dry fruits are offered; laddus are offered as bhog, and the saints render their service.
अंधन को आँख देत, कोढ़िन को काया। बाँझन को पुत्र देत, निर्धन को माया॥
Andhan ko aankh det, kodhin ko kaaya, Baanjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maaya.
He gives sight to the blind and a healthy body to the afflicted; he gives children to the childless and wealth to the poor.

Protect the honour of the humble, O son of Shambhu; fulfil our wishes, and I offer myself to you.
