Shiva-Shakti Sangam (The Divine Union)
Original
शिखर पर विराजे शिव शंभू, मैया चरणों में वास। शक्ति के इस रूप से, मिटे जगत का त्रास॥ त्रिशूल धारी, डमरू धारी, शिव का पावन धाम। मैया के संग विराजे, कण-कण में महादेव नाम॥
Transliteration
Shikhar par viraje Shiv Shambhu, Maiya charnon mein vaas. Shakti ke is roop se, mite jagat ka traas. Trishul dhari, Damru dhari, Shiv ka paavan dhaam. Maiya ke sang viraje, kan-kan mein Mahadev naam.
Meaning / Translation
Lord Shiva Shambhu resides upon the peaks, while Mother resides at His feet. Through this manifestation of Shakti, the suffering of the world is erased. The wielder of the trident and the damru, Shiva's sacred abode; alongside the Mother, the name of Mahadev resides in every atom.
Ghati Mahima (Glory of the Valley)

पवित्र पावन घाटी में, गूँजे तेरा ही नाम। शिव और शक्ति के मिलन से, बने सकल धाम॥ बहती नदियाँ, ऊँचे पर्वत, करती तेरी स्तुति। ब्रजेश्वरी की कृपा से, मिटती मन की दुर्गति॥
Transliteration
Pavitra paavan ghati mein, goonje tera hi naam. Shiv aur Shakti ke milan se, bane sakal dhaam. Bahti nadiyaan, oonche parvat, karti teri stuti. Brajeshwari ki kripa se, miti man ki durgati.

करुणा करो हे जगदम्बे, कर दो कृपा की धार। ब्रजेश्वरी माँ के चरणों में, जीवन हो जाए साकार॥ जय माँ ब्रजेश्वरी, जय शिव शंभू। कांगड़ा की रक्षा करो, हे दिव्य शक्ति स्वरूपू॥

Karuna karo hey Jagadambe, kar do kripa ki dhaara. Brajeshwari Maa ke charnon mein, jeevan ho jaaye saakaar. Jai Maa Brajeshwari, Jai Shiv Shambhu. Kangra ki raksha karo, hey divya shakti swaroopu.

Have mercy, O Mother of the Universe, shower the stream of grace. At the feet of Mother Brajeshwari, may my life find its true purpose. Victory to Mother Brajeshwari, victory to Lord Shiva Shambhu. Protect Kangra, O divine embodiment of power.
