Jaikal Mahakal Lyrics Translation – Goodbye Soundtrack
Swanand Kirkire’s lyrics describe Shiva as both life and death. The line ‘Jeevan Ho Ya Mrityu Dono Hi Tum Ho’ establishes Shiva’s dual nature. Kirkire portrays cosmic control through phrases like ‘Kan Kan Yeh Har Kshan Yeh Tumse Bana Hai’.
Mrityunjayaya RudrayaTo the conqueror of death, to Rudra,
Neelakanthaya Shambhaveto the ‘blue-throated one’, to Shambhu,
Amriteshaya Sharwayato the lord of immortality, to Sharva,
Mahadevayate NamahaI bow to the great god, Mahadeva.
Mrityunjaya MaharudraO’ conqueror of death, O’ great Rudra,
Trahimaam Sharnaagatamprotect me, for I’ve come to you for refuge.
Janma Mrityu Jara VyaadhiFrom birth, death, old age, and disease,
Mucchate Karma Bandhanerelease me from the bonds of my karma.
Jaikal Mahakal Vikraal ShambhoHail to the Lord of Time, Mahakal, the formidable Shambho.
Jeevan Ho Ya Mrityu Dono Hi Tum HoWhether it’s life or death, you are both.
Janmon Janmantar Ki Ladiyan Yeh KadiyanThe links and chains of countless lifetimes,
Har Yoni Har Jeevan Rakhwal Tum Hoyou’re the guardian of every form, of every life.
Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalHail to the Lord of Time, Hail to the Lord of Time.
Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalHail to the Lord of Time, Hail to the Lord of Time.
Shrishti Ke Sanchalak Mahapran Tum HoYou’re the director of creation, the great life-force.
Tum Hi Sukh Tum Hi Dukh Nirvan Tum HoYou are joy, you are sorrow, and you are liberation.
Sooraj Se Tejaswi Sagar Se NirmalYou’re more radiant than the sun, more pure than the ocean.
Chanda Bhi Taare Bhi Bhramand Tum HoYou are the moon, the stars, and the entire cosmos.
Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalHail to the Lord of Time, Hail to the Lord of Time.
Jeevan Ki Naiya Tum Patvaar Tum HoYou are the boat of life, and you are its oar.
Is Paar Us Paar Majhdhar Tum HoYou’re this shore, that shore, and the current in between.
Kan Kan Yeh Har Kshan Yeh Tumse Bana HaiEvery atom and every moment is made from you,
Goonje Jo Ghat Bheetar Omkaar Tum Hoand the primordial ‘Omkaar’ that echoes within is you.
Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalHail to the Lord of Time, Hail to the Lord of Time.
Ho Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalOh, hail to the Lord of Time, hail to the Lord of Time.
Himalaya Ke Sar Ka Shringar Tum HoYou are the crown that adorns the Himalayas’ head.
Ganga Ki Paavan Si Ek Dhaar Tum HoYou are a sacred stream of the river Ganga.
Dum Dum Dum Dumroo Ka Ek Naad Tum HoYou are the singular sound of the ‘dum-dum’ from the ‘damru’ drum.
Shankho Ke Hridayon Ki Hunkaar Tum HoYou are the triumphant roar from the heart of conch shells.
Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalHail to the Lord of Time, Hail to the Lord of Time.
Jaikal Mahakal Kirpal SambhoHail to the Lord of Time, the merciful Shambho.
Trilok Vyaape Hai Tere Charan HoYour feet encompass all three worlds.
Teri Kripa Ho To Jeevan Prakat HoIf you show mercy, life itself can manifest,
Tere Hi Kop Se Shrishti Bhasm Hoand with your wrath, the whole of creation can turn to ash.
Jaikal Mahakal Jaikal MahakalHail to the Lord of Time, Hail to the Lord of Time.
Jeevan Ka Mrityu Ka Khela RachayaYou created this game of life and death.
Ik Laaya Duniya Mein Ik BhijwayaYou brought one into the world and sent another away.
Insaan Bechare Ne Aansu BahayaThe poor human just shed tears,
Tera Yeh Khela Samajh Hi Na Paayanever understanding this game of yours.
Tera Yeh Khela Samajh Hi Na PaayaNever understanding this game of yours.
Soche Ki Apna Koyi Khoya GanvayaThinking they have lost someone of their own,
Jo Tera Tha Wo Jaakar Tujhme Samayabut what was yours has simply gone back and merged into you.
Jo Tera Tha Wo Jaakar Tujhme SamayaWhat was yours has simply gone back and merged into you.
Tera Tha Wo Jaakar Tujhmein SamayaWhat was yours has gone back and merged into you.
Tera Tha Wo Jaakar Tujhmein SamayaWhat was yours has gone back and merged into you.
