Om Namaś Chaṇḍikāyai

Jayanti Maṅgalā Kālī Bhadrakālī Kapālinī

Durgā Kṣamā Śivā Dhātrī Svāhā Svadhā namo’stu te

Jaya tvaṁ Devi chāmuṇḍe jaya bhūtārti-hāriṇi

Jaya sarvagate Devi kāla-rātrī namo’stu te

Madhu-Kaiṭabha-vidrāvi vidhātṛ varade namaḥ

Rūpaṃ dehi jayaṃ dehi yaśo dehi dviṣo jahi*
(* this phrase repeats throughout the prayer)

Mahiṣāsura-nirṇāśi bhaktānāṁ sukhade namaḥ

Śumbhasyaiva niśumbhasya Dhūmrākṣasya ca mardini

Natebhyaḥ sarvadā bhaktya Caṇḍike duritāpahe

Dehi saubhāgyam-ārogyaṃ dehi me paramaṃ sukham

Vidhehi Devi kalyāṇaṁ vidhehi paramāṃ śriyaṃ

Himācala-sutā-nāthasaṁstute Parameśvari

Indrāni-pati-sadbhāvapūjite Parameśvari

Devi pracaṇḍa-dordaṇḍadaitya-darpa-vināśini

Patnīṁ manoramāṁ dehi manovṛttā-nusāriṇīm

Tārinīṁ durga-saṁsāra Sāgarasya kulodhbhavām


I wanna know what Love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel what Love is

I know (that) you can show me
