कविवर बदन कृपाल,
विघ्न हरण मंगल करन,
जय जय गिरिजालाल
जय जय जय गणपति गणराजू,
मंगल भरण करण शुभः काजू,
जय गजबदन सदन सुखदाता,
वक्रतुंडा शुची शुन्दा सुहावना,
तिलका त्रिपुन्दा भाल मन भावन,
राजता मणि मुक्ताना उर माला,
स्वर्ण मुकुता शिरा नयन विशाला
पुस्तक पानी कुथार त्रिशूलं,
मोदक भोग सुगन्धित फूलं,
सुन्दर पीताम्बर तन साजित,
चरण पादुका मुनि मन राजित
धनि शिव सुवन शादानना भ्राता,
गौरी लालन विश्व-विख्याता,
रिद्धि सिद्धि तव चंवर सुधारे,
मूषका वाहन सोहत द्वारे
कहूं जन्मा शुभ कथा तुम्हारी,
अति शुची पावन मंगलकारी,
एक समय गिरिराज कुमारी,
पुत्र हेतु तप कीन्हा भारी
भयो यज्ञ जब पूर्ण अनूपा,
तब पहुँच्यो तुम धरी द्विजा रूपा,
अतिथि जानी के गौरी सुखारी,
बहु विधि सेवा करी तुम्हारी
अति प्रसन्ना हवाई तुम वरा दीन्हा,
मातु पुत्र हित जो टाप कीन्हा,
मिलही पुत्र तुही, बुद्धि विशाला,
बिना गर्भा धारण यही काला
गणनायक गुण ज्ञान निधाना,
पूजित प्रथम रूप भगवाना,
असा कही अंतर्ध्याना रूप हवाई,
पालना पर बालक स्वरूप हवाई
बनिशिशुरुदंजबहितुम थाना,
लखी मुख सुख नहीं गौरी समाना,
सकल मगन सुखा मंगल गावहीं,
नाभा ते सुरन सुमन वर्शावाहीं
शम्भू उमा बहुदान लुतावाहीं,
सुरा मुनिजन सुत देखन आवहिं,
लखी अति आनंद मंगल साजा,
देखन भी आए शनि राजा
निज अवगुण गाणी शनि मन माहीं,
बालक देखन चाहत नाहीं,
गिरिजा कछु मन भेद बढायो,
उत्सव मोरा न शनि तुही भायो
कहना लगे शनि मन सकुचाई,

पदताहीं शनि द्रिगाकोना प्रकाशा,
बालक सिरा उडी गयो आकाशा,
गिरजा गिरी विकला हवाई धरणी,

The lyrics to the song Ganpati Chalisa by Asha Bhosle are in Hindi language and are a devotional prayer to Lord Ganesh, who is one of the most beloved and revered deities in Hinduism. The first verse "Jai Ganpati Sadgun Sadan" means "Hail to Ganpati, who is full of virtues and is the abode of mercy." It praises him for being the remover of obstacles and for bringing prosperity and happiness. The second verse, "Jai Jai Jai Ganpati Ganraju" glorifies Ganpati as the king of all Ganis, who brings auspiciousness and fulfills all desires. It also describes him as the giver of knowledge and intelligence to his devotees.
The next verses describe vividly the physical appearance of Ganpati, highlighting his unique features such as his vakra-tunda (curved trunk), shuchi (pure) and shunda (beautiful) form, tri-punda (three lines) tilak on his forehead, and his beautiful golden crown. The lyrics also mention the offerings made to Ganpati during his puja, such as modak, flowers, and books. The last verses tell the story of how once Lord Shiva testing Lord Ganesha's intelligence asked him to go around the world, and he succeeded in the task. This Chalisa praises Ganpati as the first and foremost among all Gods.
