Original
देवों के देव महादेव, सोमनाथ तुम पावन धाम। चंद्र ने किया अर्पण शीश, शिव का अद्भुत है नाम। प्रथम ज्योतिर्लिंग तुम अविनाशी, सौराष्ट्र की तुम शान हो। भक्तों के संकट हरने वाले, शिव ही परम कल्याण हो।
Transliteration
Devon ke dev Mahadev, Somnath tum paavan dhaam. Chandra ne kiya arpan sheesh, Shiv ka adbhut hai naam. Pratham Jyotirlinga tum avinaashi, Saurashtra ki tum shaan ho. Bhakton ke sankat harne waale, Shiv hi param kalyan ho.
Meaning / Translation
Mahadev, the God of Gods, Somnath, you are the holy abode. Chandra (the Moon God) offered his head to you; the name of Shiva is wondrous. You are the eternal first Jyotirlinga, the pride of Saurashtra. You are the destroyer of devotees' troubles, and Shiva is the ultimate well-being.
Glory of Lord Krishna (Dwarka)

द्वारिकाधीश प्रभु कृष्ण मुरारी, द्वारका की महिमा न्यारी। शंख चक्र गदा पद्म धारी, भक्तों के तुम कष्ट संहारी। योगेश्वर तुम, जग के स्वामी, द्वारका के तुम राजा हो। कर्म योग का मार्ग दिखाने वाले, तुम ही जग के साजा हो।

Dwarkadhish Prabhu Krishna Murari, Dwarka ki mahima nyaari. Shankh chakra gada padma dhaari, bhakton ke tum kasht sanhaari. Yogeshwar tum, jag ke swami, Dwarka ke tum raja ho. Karma yoga ka maarg dikhane waale, tum hi jag ke raja ho.

Dwarkadhish, Lord Krishna Murari, the glory of Dwarka is unique. Wielder of the conch, discus, mace, and lotus, you destroy the sufferings of your devotees. You are the Lord of Yoga, the Master of the Universe, and the King of Dwarka. You are the one who shows the path of Karma Yoga, the ruler of the world.

सौराष्ट्र की पावन धरती, शिव-कृष्ण का संगम यहाँ। सोमनाथ से द्वारका तक, भक्ति का पावन है जहाँ। समुद्र की लहरें गातीं महिमा, भक्ति का है यह सुंदर धाम। शिव-कृष्ण की शरण में आकर, सिद्ध होते सब काम।
