गणराया
तुला पाहताच मनामध्ये उमगणाऱ्या
प्रत्येक अडचणींचा अंत होतो
तू आलास तर कसं सर्व ठीक होईल
हा एक प्रश्न मनात येतो
तू या धरती मधल्या माणसांचा विघ्नहर्ता आहेस
तुझ्याकडे मागितलेली सर्व गोष्ट मिळते
कारण तू इच्छापूर्ती सुद्धा आहेस
माणसांचं मागणं कधी संपत नाही
आणि तुझं मन भरून देणं सुद्धा कधी संपत नाही
वर्षभर वाट पाहून सोनेरी दिवस उगवतो,
त्यामध्ये तुझे दहा दिवस कसे जातात हे कळतच नाही

Ganraya —
The moment I see you, every difficulty
that rises in my mind finds its end.
When you arrive, all will be well —
this question comes to my heart.
You are the remover of obstacles
for all the people of this earth.
Everything asked of you is received,
for you are the fulfiller of wishes too.
The asking of people never ends,
and neither does your giving, full and generous.
After waiting a whole year, the golden day rises —
and within it, how those ten days pass,
one cannot tell.
