ॐ नमः शिवाय

जय गणेश गिरिजासुवन मंगल मूल सुजान । कहत अयोध्यादास तुम देउ अभय वरदान ॥

जय गिरिजापति दीनदयाला । सदा करत सन्तन प्रतिपाला ॥

भाल चन्द्रमा सोहत नीके । कानन कुण्डल नाग फनी के ॥

अंग गौर शिर गंग बहाये । मुण्डमाल तन क्षार लगाये ॥

वस्त्र खाल बाघम्बर सोहे । छवि को देखि नाग मन मोहे ॥

मैना मातु कि हवे दुलारी । वाम अंग सोहत छवि न्यारी ॥

कर त्रिशूल सोहत छवि भारी । करत सदा शत्रुन क्षयकारी ॥

नंदी गणेश सोहैं तहं कैसे । सागर मध्य कमल हैं जैसे ॥

कार्तिक श्याम और गणराऊ । या छवि कौ कहि जात न काऊ ॥

देवन जबहीं जाय पुकारा । तबहिं दुख प्रभु आप निवारा ॥

किया उपद्रव तारक भारी । देवन सब मिलि तुमहिं जुहारी ॥

तुरत षडानन आप पठायौ । लव निमेष महं मारि गिरायौ ॥

आप जलंधर असुर संहारा । सुयश तुम्हार विदित संसारा ॥

त्रिपुरासुर सन युद्ध मचाई । तबहिं कृपा कर लीन बचाई ॥

किया तपहिं भागीरथ भारी । पुरब प्रतिज्ञा तासु पुरारी ॥

दानिन महं तुम सम कोउ नाहीं । सेवक स्तुति करत सदाहीं ॥

वेद माहि महिमा तुम गाई । अकथ अनादि भेद नहीं पाई ॥

प्रकटे उदधि मंथन में ज्वाला । जरत सुरासुर भए विहाला ॥

कीन्ह दया तहं करी सहाई । नीलकंठ तब नाम कहाई ॥

पूजन रामचंद्र जब कीन्हां । जीत के लंक विभीषण दीन्हा ॥

सहस कमल में हो रहे धारी । कीन्ह परीक्षा तबहिं त्रिपुरारी ॥

एक कमल प्रभु राखेउ जोई । कमल नयन पूजन चहं सोई ॥

कठिन भक्ति देखी प्रभु शंकर । भये प्रसन्न दिए इच्छित वर ॥

जय जय जय अनंत अविनाशी । करत कृपा सबके घट वासी ॥

दुष्ट सकल नित मोहि सतावैं । भ्रमत रहौं मोहे चैन न आवैं ॥

त्राहि त्राहि मैं नाथ पुकारो । यह अवसर मोहि आन उबारो ॥

ले त्रिशूल शत्रुन को मारो । संकट से मोहिं आन उबारो ॥

मात पिता भ्राता सब कोई । संकट में पूछत नहिं कोई ॥

स्वामी एक है आस तुम्हारी । आय हरहु मम संकट भारी ॥

धन निर्धन को देत सदा ही । जो कोई जांचे सो फल पाहीं ॥

अस्तुति केहि विधि करों तुम्हारी । क्षमहु नाथ अब चूक हमारी ॥

शंकर हो संकट के नाशन । मंगल कारण विघ्न विनाशन ॥

योगी यति मुनि ध्यान लगावैं । शारद नारद शीश नवावैं ॥

नमो नमो जय नमः शिवाय । सुर ब्रह्मादिक पार न पाय ॥

जो यह पाठ करे मन लाई । ता पर होत हैं शम्भु सहाई ॥

रनियां जो कोई हो अधिकारी । पाठ करे सो पावन हारी ॥

पुत्र होन की इच्छा जोई । निश्चय शिव प्रसाद तेहि होई ॥

पण्डित त्रयोदशी को लावे । ध्यान पूर्वक होम करावे ॥

त्रयोदशी व्रत करै हमेशा । तन नहिं ताके रहै कलेशा ॥

धूप दीप नैवेद्य चढ़ावे । शंकर सम्मुख पाठ सुनावे ॥

जन्म जन्म के पाप नसावे । अन्त धाम शिवपुर में पावे ॥

कहैं अयोध्यादास आस तुम्हारी । जानि सकल दुख हरहु हमारी ॥

दोहा नित नेम उठि प्रातःही पाठ करो चालीस । तुम मेरी मनकामना पूर्ण करो जगदीश ॥

Meaning & Significance

Shiva Chalisa is a devotional prayer that combines praise, surrender, and practical faith. In Hindi devotional life, it is often read when a devotee wants steadiness rather than spectacle. The verses describe Shiva as compassionate, powerful, and beyond ordinary limits, but also as close to the seeker who calls with sincerity. That combination is why the text keeps working for everyday prayer.

The emotional center of the chalisa is protection. Again and again, the devotee asks Shiva to remove obstacles, calm fear, and protect life from distress. That is why people turn to it during difficult periods, family stress, health worries, or before important work. The text is not only about worshiping a deity. It is about creating a devotional frame of mind that feels safe and disciplined.

Another reason the chalisa lasts is its balance between imagery and accessibility. Shiva is shown with the crescent moon, the Ganga, the trident, the ash-covered body, and the cosmic role of destroyer and protector. Even so, the language stays direct enough for daily use. Readers do not need a commentary to feel the power of the verses.

This page keeps the text readable because that matters for actual recitation. Many visitors are not looking for analysis first. They want the Hindi lines in a form they can chant, memorize, or quietly follow during puja. The page therefore serves both devotion and search intent without turning the prayer into a lecture.

Pronunciation Notes

The Shiva Chalisa works best when the words are given clear, even stress. The repeated invocations, especially at the beginning and in the doha, should be read with a calm pace rather than rushed. That keeps the prayer grounded and makes it easier to follow in a group setting.

For mobile readers, short line breaks matter. They help the eye keep pace with the chant and make it easier to restart from the right place if the recitation is interrupted. In temple or home worship, many readers soften the voice slightly and let the final line of each couplet settle before moving on.

About Ayodhyadas

Ayodhyadas is the attribution given in the source for this Shiva Chalisa, and the poem sits comfortably within the broader Hindi devotional tradition. What matters most in this context is the devotional voice: direct, reverent, and built for recitation rather than literary display.

Readers searching for Ayodhyadas usually want to know why the name matters in a hymn like this. The answer is simple. A chalisa works because it is memorable, stable, and easy to return to. The attribution ties the text to a devotional lineage that readers can trust while they chant.

This page also helps explain why Shiva Chalisa remains so widely used. It does not depend on rare vocabulary or obscure imagery. It speaks in a familiar prayer register, which makes it ideal for home worship, temple use, and daily spiritual routine.

For a lyrics site, that makes the author page useful in two directions. It supports users who want the text itself, and it supports readers who want to understand the devotional tradition behind it.
