Khol Darwazaa (Bhajan)

Khol darwaza: bhajan lyrics & meaning from the Ashram Diary

Khol darwaza sheranwaliye ni maharaniye ni de darshan jwala
karde pagat pukar japan tere naam di mala
khol darwaza sheranwaliye ….

Open the door, thou the rider of Lions! the Empress! – give thou darshan Oh Jwala!
(Jwala ji is one of the Shakti Peethas in North India)
We devotees are calling thee, and doing the japa of thy name
Open the door, thou the rider of Lions! …

Dware tere ni maiyya
sangta hein aaiyan ni ambe…sangta hein aaiyan
tere pahadan diya
chadke chadaiyan ni ambe…chadke chadaiyan
petan leaaye tere dwar ma de deedar ma, mei auganhari
dar tere aayi me papanhari
khol darwaza sheranwaliye ….

At thy door, O Mother!
devotees have flocked O Mother!…devotees have flocked
after having ascended the heights of thy mountains O Mother!…after having ascended the heights
(The famous shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi near city of Jammu in North India, is located at the top of a mountain – The shrine is at an altitude of 5200 feet. It is a steep ascend of approximately 12 kilometres . It is also one of the Shakti Peethas)
(We) have brought gifts (offerings) at thy door, give thy divine glimpse
I, the one filled with vices, have come to your door, I, the one filled with sins
Open the door, thou the rider of Lions! …

Teri gufadi maiyya
shaan nirali ni ambe…shaan nirali
jede vich vase suye choleyaan wali ni ambe choleyan wali
hoke simh sawaar ma, de deedar ma – assi bachde tere
pave haan poot kapoot haan te tere
khol darwaza sheranwaliye ….

Of thy caves, O Mother! (This refers to the caves at the shrine of Vaishno Devi)
the glory is incomparable O Mother!…glory is incomparable
wherein resides the one adorned with red garments, O Mother! with red garments
riding the lion, give your glimpse O Mother! we are thy children
good or bad, yet we belong to thee
Open the door, thou the rider of Lions! …

Dware tera jeda
aaya sawali ni ambe … aaya sawali
mangiyan muradan pave
jaye na khali ni ambe…jaye na khali
sada rava tere naal ma – eho aas ma – tere gun gaawan mei
tere sone darbaar te me aawan
khol darwaza sheranwaliye ….

At your doors the one who
comes seeking thee, O Mother!…comes seeking thee
gets the boons of his/her wishes
goes he not empty handed O Mother!…goes he not empty handed
Always shall I be with thou O Mother!, is my wish, and sing thy glories
and shall come to thy beautiful divine court
Open the door, thou the rider of Lions! …

Jai mata di! Jai mata di! Jai mata di! ….

Glory to Divine Mother! Glory to Divine Mother! Glory to Divine Mother!
