॥दोहा॥
जय जय जय जग पावनी, जयति देवसरि गंग।
जय शिव जटा निवासिनी, अनुपम तुंग तरंग॥
॥चौपाई॥
जय जय जननी हरण अघखानी। आनंद करनी गंगा महारानी।।
जय भगीरथी सुरसरि माता। कलिमल मूल दलिनी विख्याता।।
जय जय जहानु सुता अघ हननी। भीष्म की माता जग जननी।।
धवल कमल दल मम तनु साजे। लखी शत शरद चंद्र छवि लाजै।।
वाहन मकर विमल शुची सोहें। अमिया कलश कर लखी मन मोहें।।
जडित रत्न कंचन आभूषण। हिय मणि हार, हरानितम दूषण।।
जग पावनी त्रय ताप नसावनी। तरल तरंग तुंग मन भावनी ।
जो गणपति अति पूज्य प्रधान। तिहूँ ते प्रथम गंगा अस्नाना।।
ब्रम्हा कमंडल वासिनी देवी। श्री प्रभु पद पंकज सुख सेवि।।
साठी सहस्त्र सागर सुत तारयो। गंगा सागर तीरथ धारयो।।
अगम तरंग उठ्यो मन भावन। लखी तीरथ हरिद्वार सुहावन।।
तीरथ राज प्रयाग अक्षयवट। धरयो मातु पुनि काशी करवट।।
धनी धनी सुरसरि स्वर्ग की सीढ़ी। तारनी अमित पितर पद पीढ़ी।।
भागीरथ तप कियो उपारा। दियो ब्रह्मा तव सुरसरि धारा।।
जब जग जननी चल्यो हहराई। शम्भु जटा महं रह्यो समाई।।
वर्ष पर्यंत गंगा महारानी। रहीं शम्भू के जटा भुलानी।।
मुनि भागीरथ शम्भुहीं ध्यायो। तब इक बूंद जटा से पायो।।
ताते मातु भई त्रय धारा। मृत्यु लोक नभ अरु पातारा।।
गईं पाताल प्रभावती नामा। मन्दाकिनी गई गगन ललामा।।
मृत्यु लोक जाह्नवी सुहावनी। कलिमल हरनी अगम जग पावनि।।
धनि मइया तब महिमा भारी। धर्मं धुरी कलि कलुष कुठारी।।
मातु प्रभवति धनि मन्दाकिनी। धनि सुर सरित सकल भयनासिनी।।
पान करत निर्मल गंगा जल। पावत मन इच्छित अनंत फल।।
पुरव जन्म पुण्य जब जागत। तबहीं ध्यान गंगा महँ लागत।।
जई पगु सुरसरी हेतु उठावही। तई जगि अश्वमेघ फल पावहि।।
महा पतित जिन कहू न तारे। तिन तारे इक नाम तिहारे।।
शत योजन हूँ से जो ध्यावहिं। निशचाई विष्णु लोक पद पावहीं।।
नाम भजत अगणित अघ नाशै। विमल ज्ञान बल बुद्धि प्रकाशे।।
जिमी धन मूल धर्मं अरु दाना। धर्मं मूल गँगाजल पाना।।
तब गुन गुणन करत दुःख भाजत। गृह गृह सम्पति सुमति विराजत।।
गंगहि नेम सहित नित ध्यावत। दुर्जनहूँ सज्जन पद पावत।।
बुद्धिहीन विद्या बल पावै। रोगी रोग मुक्तझ हो जावै।।
गंगा गंगा जो नर कहहीं। भूखा नंगा कबँहु न रहहि।।
निकसत ही मुख गंगा माई। श्रवण दाबी यम चलहिं पराई।।
महं अघिन अधमन कहं तारे। भए नरका के बंद किवारें॥
जो नर जपी गंग शत नामा। सकल सिद्धि पूरण ह्वै कामा॥
सब सुख भोग परम पद पावहीं। आवागमन रहित ह्वै जावहीं॥
धनि मइया सुरसरि सुख दैनि। धनि धनि तीरथ राज त्रिवेणी॥
ककरा ग्राम ऋषि दुर्वासा। सुन्दरदास गंगा कर दासा॥
जो यह पढ़े गंगा चालीसा। मिली भक्ति अविरल वागीसा॥
॥दोहा॥
नित नए सुख सम्पति लहैं। धरें गंगा का ध्यान।।
अंत समाई सुर पुर बसल। सदर बैठी विमान।।
