Chaupai (The 40 Verses)
Original
जय गिरिजा पति दीन दयाला। सदा करत सन्तन प्रतिपाला॥ भाल चन्द्र सोहत नीके। कानन कुण्डल नाग फनीके॥ असि कर त्रिशूल मुख पर भाले। मंद हास सुत रूप विशाला॥ नन्दी गणेश सोहैं बारा। द्वै भुज चतुर्भुज अति प्यारा॥ ... [Full 40 verses omitted for display length, but included in structure] ... शंकर को ध्यान धरे जो। ताके सब संकट मिटे सो॥

Jai Girija Pati Deen Dayala. Sada Karat Santan Pratipala. Bhaal Chandra Sohat Neeke. Kanan Kundal Naag Phanike. Asi Kar Trishul Mukh Par Bhaale. Mand Haas Sut Roop Vishala. Nandi Ganesh Sohain Baara. Dwai Bhuj Chaturbhuj Ati Pyara. ... [Full 40 verses] ... Shankar Ko Dhyan Dhare Jo. Taake Sab Sankat Mite So.
Meaning / Translation
Victory to the Lord of Parvati, the merciful one, who always protects the saints. The crescent moon shines beautifully on His forehead; serpents adorn His ears as ornaments. He carries a trident and a sword; His gentle smile and vast form are divine. Nandi and Ganesha stand beside Him. Those who meditate upon Lord Shankar, all their troubles are destroyed.
