He ann dhan kee mahaaraanee

He ann dhan kee mahaaraanee, ho jai Lakshmee ranee
Tujhe ghar ghar pooje paranee, ho jai Lakshmee ranee

Mandir tihaaraa cham cham kare, lakho diyo kee jyotee jare
Bhakto kaa maa bhandaar bhare, haatho se dhan kee barsaa kare
Teree ham pe bhee ho meharbaanee, ho jai Lakshmee ranee

Ham maangate maa sonaa kahaa, ham maangate maa chaandi kahaa
Hum to fakat itnaa maangate, bhookhaa naa koee soye yahaa
Sabkee rakhnaa nigraanee,  ho jai Lakshmee ranee

Man se jo maa kee poojaa kare, maa uske saare dukhṛe hare
Girte hay kee kismat jo mar, chaṛti kare aur bhaṛtee kare
Huee devee naa tujhse ye baanee, ho jai Lakshmee ranee

O (Protector of the poor and Destroyer of sorrows and darkness, Salutations to Thee. Your presence is invoked today as Thou art worshipped from home to home.

The resplendent illuminance of thousands of diyas sparkles like an ocean of lights in each temple. 0 Bestower of an abundance of fortune, Thy devotees are never in want once secured in Your affection.

I seek not, O Mother, a garland of gold or silver, but your blessings so that no sorrows befall me, this much I ask, O Protector of the world.

Those who seek your kindness are forever protected from the burdens of their faith. Bestow Thy blessings upon us, O Mother..

Singer: Usha Mangeshkar; Movie: Lakshmi Pooja (1957)
