Hariyali Teej (The Joy of Monsoon)
Original
हरियाली तीज की छटा निराली, सखियाँ मिल झूला झूलें। सावन की फुहारें बरसें, मन में खुशियाँ फूलें। चारों ओर हरियाली छाई, प्रकृति ने ली अंगड़ाई। शिव-गौरी की महिमा गाएं, खुशियों की सौगात लाई।
Transliteration
Hariyali Teej ki chata nirali, sakhiyan mil jhoola jhoolen. Saavan ki fuhaare barse, mann mein khushiyan phoolen. Chaaron aur hariyali chhayi, prakriti ne li angdai. Shiv-Gauri ki mahima gaayein, khushiyon ki saugaat laayi.
Meaning / Translation
The beauty of Hariyali Teej is unique, as friends gather to swing together. The monsoon showers fall, and happiness blooms in the heart. Greenery is spread everywhere, as nature awakens. We sing the glories of Shiva and Gauri, bringing gifts of joy.
Hartalika Teej (The Penance of Parvati)
Original
हरतालिका व्रत है भारी, पार्वती ने कठिन तप की। मिट्टी के शिव बनाए माँ ने, भक्ति की शक्ति ही की। महादेव को पाने हेतु, निर्जला व्रत निभाया था। शिव-शक्ति का मिलन जगत में, अद्भुत दृश्य दिखाया था।
Transliteration
Hartalika vrat hai bhaari, Parvati ne kathin tap ki. Mitti ke Shiv banaaye Maa ne, bhakti ki shakti hi ki. Mahadev ko paane hetu, nirjala vrat nibhaya tha. Shiv-Shakti ka milan jagat mein, adbhut drishya dikhaya tha.
Meaning / Translation
The Hartalika fast is profound; Mother Parvati performed intense penance. She crafted idols of Shiva from clay, relying solely on the power of devotion. To attain Mahadev, she observed a fast without even water. The union of Shiva and Shakti presented a wondrous sight to the world.
Kajari Teej (The Melodic Devotion)
Original
कजरी की मल्हार गूंजे, सावन की रिमझिम फुहार। भक्ति के सुर में डूबा, ये पावन तीज का त्यौहार। शिव शम्भू और गौरा मैया, सबकी झोली भरते हैं। सुहाग और सुख-समृद्धि का, वरदान सदा देते हैं।
Transliteration
Kajari ki malhaar goonje, saavan ki rimjhim fuhaar. Bhakti ke sur mein dooba, ye paavan Teej ka tyauhaar. Shiv Shambhu aur Gaura Maiya, sabki jholi bharte hain. Suhaag aur sukh-samriddhi ka, vardaan sada dete hain.
Meaning / Translation
The melodies of Kajari echo amidst the drizzling monsoon showers. This holy festival of Teej is immersed in the tunes of devotion. Lord Shiva Shambhu and Mother Gauri fill everyone's lives with abundance. They eternally grant blessings of marital bliss and prosperity.
