Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the Mother, victory's cry!
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the Mother, victory's cry!
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the light-giver, victory's cry!
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the light-giver, victory's cry!
She dispels, she dispels, the light-giver dispels,
The darkness of every life's despair.
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the light-giver, victory's cry!
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the light-giver, victory's cry!
To hide, she retreated to the mountain's guarded cave,
To the guarded cave she went.
Then, with a mother's dream, revealed her sacred space,
Revealed her sacred space.
Unable to bear separation from her devotees, she sent letters to call them near,
Unable to bear separation from her devotees, she sent letters to call them near.
Slowly, the whole world gathered at the Mother's gate,
Slowly, the whole world gathered at the Mother's gate.
The lion-rider grants strength, the lion-rider grants strength,
To those whose lives are lost to fear.
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the lion-rider, victory's cry!
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the lion-rider, victory's cry!
Those who forget the temple's path, lost in the world's maze,
Whose minds are filled with doubt, in the boat of their days,
Who surrender all action, and trust in Vaishno Devi Ma,
Who surrender all action, and trust in Vaishno Devi Ma,
Once they come and rest, beneath the shelter of her grace,
Once they come and rest, beneath the shelter of her grace.
She of the umbrella takes upon her head, she of the umbrella takes upon her head,
All their burdens, their every care.
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the umbrella-bearer, victory's cry!
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the umbrella-bearer, victory's cry!
A child may forget the Mother,
A child may forget the Mother, but she does not forget her own.
Victory's cry, victory's cry, to the light-giver, victory's cry!
True light-giver, your victory ever,
Mother Lion-rider, your victory ever,
Golden umbrella-bearer, your victory ever,
She of the high temple, your victory ever.
The music of the temple bells, the temple bells resound,
The valleys sing, "Victory to the Mother!" The waterfalls sing, "Victory to the Mother!"
All nature cries out, "Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother!"
Infusing life's essence, "Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother!"
In all three worlds it echoes, "Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother!"
This is the essence of the world, "Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother!"
Speak with love, "Victory to the Mother!" All, proclaim, "Victory to the Mother!"
Together, cry out, "Victory to the Mother!" Say it, oh say, "Victory to the Mother!"
Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother!
Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother! Victory to the Mother!
