Jai Ganesh Girija suvan,
Mangal karan kripal।
Deenan ke dukh door kar,
Kije nath nihal॥
Jai jai Shri Shanidev prabhu,
sunahu vinay maharaj।
Karahu kripa he Ravi tanay,
rakhahu jan ki laj॥
॥ Chaupai ॥
Jayati jayati Shanidev dayala।
Karat sada bhaktan pratipala॥
Chari bhuja tanu shyam viraje।
Mathe ratan mukut chhavi chhaje॥
Param vishal manohar bhala।
Tedhi drishti bhrikuti vikrala॥
Kundal shravan chamacham chamkain।
Hiya mal muktan mani damkain॥
Kar mein gada trishul kuthara।
Pal bich karain arihin sanhara॥
Pingal krishno chhaya nandan।
Yam bhrata Martand nandan॥
Suryaputra shamshan adhikari।
Dandadhikari dusht sanhari॥
Aavat hi harshit sur loka।
Bhagat sab jab sunahin tav jhonka॥
Ashva sheesh par ho asvara।
Kar mein koda sir par andhiyara॥
Kahun dekhiyat roop gambheera।
Kahun dikhavat sheesh ageera॥
Shani jayanti jo padhat bhakti so।
Shani prasad det sukh nityo॥
Jo koi pujat dhyan lagai।
Shani prakop jasu sar mitai॥
Paan phool phal phool chadhave।
Tel til urad chadhay sukhave॥
Jo yah path kare man lai।
Ta par hoy dayal savai॥
Suryaputra sam kou nahi dani।
Jahi din Shani ki kirti thani॥
Koti janam ke paap nasave।
Shanidev ki kripa so pave॥
Raja Dashrath nrip ek।
Rakhe Shani sanmukh dekh॥
Puni prasann Shani dev bhaye।
Raja ko vardan diye॥
Shani ki mahima agam apara।
Kahi na sake kou paar॥
Jo nar sumire Shanidev ko।
Dukh daridra mitave tehi ko॥
Suryaputra mangal karain bhari।
Jo jan seve bhakti tumhari॥
Ardh rashi sadhe-sati nashe।
Jo Shani Chalisa nit pase॥
Yah Chalisa jo padhe dhyani | Shani kripa phal pave prani॥
॥ Doha ॥
Path Shanishchar dev ko,
kije dhyan lagay।
Sukh sampatti yash paiye,
Shani kripa sohay॥
The Shani Chalisa is a devotional hymn dedicated to Shani Dev, recited especially on Saturdays. Regular recitation is believed to bring relief to those affected by Shani's Sade Sati or Dhaiya period, easing hardship and delays.
