Nilkantha, har, har Mahadeva, Har, har Mahadeva, Nilkantha Mahadeva, You be guide, Shiva-Sambhu, Shankara. Nilkantha, har, har Mahadeva, Shiv-Shankara, You be our help In trouble and tribulation, Mahadeva. Nilkantha, one whose neck is blue, Bluish as for taking poison And the snakes rounded around, Bhole-baba, Shiva-shankara, Simple and saintly, One of good-heart. Nilkantha Mahadeva, Blue-necked Great God, You eliminate our troubles, You eradicate and eliminate, Simple and saintly Shiva, The Origin of the being. Nilkantha Mahadeva, Blue-necked and bare-bodied And with a thread over, You in the loin cloth, The leather of the tiger And with a kamandala, A trishula and a damru going. On Your pathways to Kailash peaks, Snow-capped tough terrains to meditate and do sadhna, A yogi, a sadhaka, a fakira You To be lost in.
