ॐ शक्ति, ओ जगदम्बा, तू ही है आधार। सृष्टि की जननी, तू ही है संसार।
Transliteration
Om Shakti, O Jagadamba, tu hi hai aadhaar. Srishti ki janani, tu hi hai sansaar.

Om Shakti, O Mother of the Universe, you are the very foundation. You are the creator of the universe, you are the world itself.
The Essence of Womanhood
Original
न नारी कमज़ोर है, न नारी बेबस है, वह स्वयं में एक ब्रह्मांड, स्वयं में एक शक्ति है। उसके भीतर छिपा है साहस का सागर, वह है परिवर्तन की, अटूट गागर।
Transliteration
Na nari kamzor hai, na nari bebas hai, Wah swayam mein ek brahmaand, swayam mein ek shakti hai. Uske bheetar chipa hai saahas ka saagar, Wah hai parivartan ki, atoot gaagar.
Meaning / Translation
A woman is neither weak nor helpless, She is a universe unto herself, a power unto herself. Within her lies an ocean of courage, She is the unbreakable vessel of change.
The Divine Archetypes
Original
कभी दुर्गा का तेज, कभी काली का क्रोध, कभी लक्ष्मी की कृपा, कभी सरस्वती का बोध। ममता की मूरत, और रणचंडी का रूप, नारी ही है तपती धूप, नारी ही शीतल स्वरूप।
Transliteration
Kabhi Durga ka tej, kabhi Kali ka krodh, Kabhi Lakshmi ki kripa, kabhi Saraswati ka bodh. Mamta ki moorat, aur Rannchandi ka roop, Nari hi hai taptee dhoop, nari hi sheetal swaroop.
Meaning / Translation
Sometimes the brilliance of Durga, sometimes the wrath of Kali, Sometimes the grace of Lakshmi, sometimes the wisdom of Saraswati. The embodiment of maternal love, and the form of the warrior Goddess, A woman is the scorching sun, and she is also the soothing shade.
The Call to Awakening
Original
जागो नारी, जागो अब, अपनी शक्ति को पहचानो, अंधकार को चीर कर, अपना मार्ग स्वयं बनाओ। न रोको उसे, न बांधो उसे, वह पंख फैलाकर उड़ेगी, स्त्री शक्ति की गूंज से, यह धरा अब झुकेगी।
Transliteration
Jaago nari, jaago ab, apni shakti ko pehchaano, Andhkaar ko cheer kar, apna maarg swayam banao. Na roko use, na baandho use, wah pankh phailakar udegi, Stree Shakti ki goonj se, yeh dhara ab jhukegi.
Meaning / Translation
Awaken woman, awaken now, recognize your own power, Tear through the darkness, and create your own path. Do not stop her, do not bind her, she will fly with spreading wings, With the echo of female power, this earth shall bow.
Conclusion

Transliteration
Stree Shakti, Anant Shakti, Srishti ki mool shakti.
