Sheetla Mata Chalisa

Glory to Sheetla, Mother divine,
Guardian of health, compassion’s sign.
In every household, gentle and bright,
You end disease and fear with light.

Your soothing glance, like moonlit grace,
Brings peace and balance to every place.
Where Your sacred name is softly sung,
The fever’s fire is quickly undone.

You calm the breath and ease our pain,
You break the knots of fear and strain.
You bless each child with strength and rest,
You hold the world to Your cool chest.

Pure and spotless, radiant and wise,
You open hearts and clear our eyes.
With powers gathered round Your throne,
Your healing music gently is known.

When burning plagues swept door to door,
And cries of grief rose more and more,
You took Your fan and sacred broom,
And swept away the heat and gloom.

Hearing our prayers in humble tone,
You dried the sores, soothed skin and bone.
The flames of sickness lost their might,
And homes were bathed in cooling light.

Mother of mercy, nurse of all,
You answer every earnest call.
With simple water, food, and care,
You teach the heart to live in prayer.

You are our Mother and Father too,
Support of life, forever true.
We bow with love, we bow in awe,
To Your compassion’s holy law.

Remembered once with faithful heart,
You tear our bonds of grief apart.
The poor gain health and hopeful cheer,
The lost are shown that help is near.

Skin finds clarity, eyes find sight,
Empty arms are filled with light.
The weak in spirit rise again,
The mind grows calm, composed, and sane.

In village lanes and city street,
Your name makes hidden dangers retreat.
Where Your altar’s kept pure and bright,
Heat turns to peace and gentle night.

O gracious Mother, cool and kind,
Make pure our home, our speech, our mind.
Forgive our faults and steady our will,
Grant patient hearts and senses still.

Who sings these verses, true and clear,
Finds wholesome days and nights sincere.
By Sheetla’s grace, all troubles fall,
Her cooling mercy heals us all.

Closing Doha

Who reads this Chalisa with faithful breath,
Finds peace in life and guard from death.
By Mother’s blessing health shall stay,
And every home know auspicious day.
