Shivratri - Zarra Singh
ओमकार में बाबा बसे
और संसार में मा
धरती अंबर चांद सितारे
है दोनों की सत्ता
मेरे मन की तरह आज
झूमे है जिंदगी
रात है सबसे प्यारी
आई है
खुशी की शिवरात्रि
शिव के नाम से सजी हे देवी कुमारी
शिव आएंगे दूल्हा बनके नंदी सवारी
तो खुशी है हमारी प्रीति है हमारी
भोले बाबा बनेंगे दूल्हा,
ओमकार में बाबा बसे
और संसार में मा
धरती अंबर चांद सितारे
है दोनों की सत्ता
मृदंग तेरा ताल बताया
अब तो धूम मचेगा
शिव बाराती आते ही
सारा ढोल बजेगा
कोई शिव शिव बोलेगा
कोई पार्वती माता
कोई जपेगा
वरमाला का जय गाथा
भाव हमारा खिल गया है
फूलों की तरह
एक-एक फूल चुन चुन कर
दो ,माला बनाऊंगा
एक बाबा को और एक मां को
भक्ति भरे भाव से अर्पण करूंगा
मन में शिव शिव जपुंगा
और शादी देखूंगा
ढोल तुम, क्यों थम गए हो
बजाओ झूम के बजाओ
बाबा की बारात आयी हैं
शादी गीत गाओ
मृदंग तेरा ताल बताया
अब तो धूम मचेगा
शिव बाराती आते ही
सारा ढोल बजेगा
कोई शिव शिव बोलेगा
कोई पार्वती माता
कोई जपेगा
वरमाला का जय गाथा
