Hey Sharde Maa Lyrics
हे शारदे माँ, हे शारदे माँ,
अज्ञानता से हमें तार दे माँ ॥
मुनियों ने समझी, गुणियों ने जानी,
शास्त्रों की भाषा, आगम की वाणी,
हम भी तो जानें, हम भी तो समझें,
विद्या का फ़ल तो हमें माँ तू देना ॥
तू ज्ञानदायी हमें ज्ञान दे दे,
रत्नत्रयों का हमें दान दे दे,
मन से हमारे मिटा दे अंधेरा,
हमको उजालों का शिवद्वार दे माँ ॥
तू मोक्ष दायी ये संगीत तुझपे,
हर शब्द तेरा है हर भाव तुझमें,
हम हैं अकेले हम हैं अधूरे,
तेरी शरण माँ हमें तार देना ॥
