- Iccha Karo Puri Ganga Snan Ki.
- Aab Na Dher Karo, Aa Ke Kasht Haro
- Meri Bath Rakh Lo, Meri Laj Rakh Lo.
- Hey Bole Gangadar Padharo,
- Hey Bole Rishidar Padharo, Dori Toot Jaaye Na,
- Mera Jagh Me Nahi Koi Numhare Bina.
O Shiv Shankar I offer you the fruits of my devotion and austerity for the divine Ganga water for your devotees so that they do not lose the vital life and that no one would question your kindness and compassion. May I beg for everyone’s welfare as the alms for my worship and pray for the fulfillment of the wish to dip in the divine Ganga to cleanse our sins. O Bholenath, may you not delay appearing before us to relieve us from our sufferings and miseries. O Mahadev, I pray to you to consider my humble request and my shame. O kind and caring (Bhole) Gangadhar (one who holds River Ganga), may you appear to take care of us. O kind and caring (Bhole) Rishidhar (Maharishi), may you appear to take care of everyone and not break the bonding for there is no one other than you to save us in the whole universe.

O Shiv Shankar, it is a promise on Nandi, whose abode is Kailash, that may I not let lose the trust I have on you.
