Kali karali ma pralaya
Pralay nachan rakta banya
Kali karali ma pralaya
abar kena ma abhaya

Mother Kali, Mother Karali,
Mother of the world-transforming
And world-illumining fiery Dance,
O Mother, You are at once
The destruction-flood
Of Concern-Light and Compassion-Ocean
For our heart’s aspiration-flame.
