[Purab se jab suraj nikle sindoori ghan chhaye
 Pavan ke pag mein nupur baaje mayur mann mera gaaye]-- (2)
Mann mera gaaye
Om namas shivaay...

Pushp ki mala thaal sajaaun
Gangajal bhar kalash main laaun
Nau jyoti ke deep jalaaun
Charnon mein neet sheesh jhukaaun
Bhaav vibhor hoke bhakti mein rom rom rang jaaye
Ho mann mera gaaye
Om namas shivaay...

Abhyankar shankar avinashi
Main tere darshan ki abhilaashi
Janmon ki pooja ki pyaasi
Mujh pe karna kripa jara si - (2)
Tere siva mere praanon ko aur koi na bhaaye
Ho o o o mann mera gaaye
Om namas shivaay...
