maata kaalika maata kaalika amlam amlam me paani
shakti sawaroopa prathna ki dor me aapki hu aai
tere hi dwar kaali maa
maata kaalika maata kaalika

jab dekhe tu daya roop se pal me shankat har door kar
roop bhayankar jab tu dhare chand mund sab chur kare
karn pukaar sun bhakto ki peeda mita de maa
karn pukaar sun bhakto ki peeda mita de maa
maata kalika maata kaalika


tujhse meri preet hui hai ise naa inkar kar
aapne rang me rang de mujhko kar de mera upkar tu
tu bhawtarni tu phalharni teri jai jai maa
tu bhawtarni tu phalharni teri jai jai maa
maata kaalika maata kaalika

Mother Kali, Mother Kali, in purity, in pure waters,
I am drawn to your power, a prayer's thread,
I have come to your door, Kali Ma,
Mother Kali, Mother Kali.

When your gaze is mercy, you banish woes in a breath,
When you assume your fearsome form, you shatter Chanda and Munda,
Hearing your devotees' cries, you soothe their pain, Mother,
Hearing your devotees' cries, you soothe their pain, Mother,
Mother Kali, Mother Kali.

My love for you has blossomed, do not deny it,
Color me in your hues, bestow your grace upon me,
You are the liberator, the fulfiller, victory to you, Mother,
You are the liberator, the fulfiller, victory to you, Mother,
Mother Kali, Mother Kali.
