जय गणेश जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा। माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा॥ एकदन्त दयावन्त चार भुजाधारी। माथे पर तिलक सोहे मूसे की सवारी॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा॥ पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े और चढ़े मेवा। लड्डुअन का भोग लगे सन्त करें सेवा॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा॥ अन्धन को आँख देत कोढ़िन को काया। बाँझन को पुत्र देत निर्धन को माया॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा॥ सूर श्याम शरण आए सफल कीजे सेवा। माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा॥
Victory to Ganesha, victory to Ganesha, victory to Lord Ganesha! Whose mother is Parvati, whose father is Mahadeva. The one-tusked, compassionate one, bearer of four arms, With a tilak on the forehead, riding a mouse. Victory to Ganesha! Betel leaves are offered, flowers are offered, and dry fruits; A bhog of laddoos is presented, saints perform worship. Victory to Ganesha! You give eyes to the blind, a healthy body to the diseased, Sons to the childless, and wealth to the poor. Victory to Ganesha! Sur-Shyam has come to your shelter — make this service fruitful. Whose mother is Parvati, whose father is Mahadeva. Victory to Ganesha!
