📜 Lyrics – Sone Ki Chadi (Naminath Bhagwan)
Shree Naminath Bhagwan
Sone ki chhadi
Roope ki mashaal
Jariyan ka jaama
Motiyan ki maala
Aaju se baaju se nigaah rakho
Jeevdaya pratipaalak
Tran lok na naath
Devadhidev
Mithila na Rajadhiraj
Vapradevi na nandan
Raja Vijay na sapoot
Raaj Rajeshwar
Daya na saagar
Karuna na bhandaar
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
श्री नमिनाथ भगवान
सोने की छड़ी
रूपे की मशाल
जरीयन का जामा
मोतीयन की माला
आजु से बाजु से निगाह रखो
जीवदया प्रतिपालक
त्रण लोक ना नाथ
देवाधिदेव
मिथिला ना राजाधिराज
वप्रादेवी ना नंदन
राजा विजय ना सपूत
राज राजेश्वर
दया ना सागर
करुणा ना भंडार
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
શ્રી નમિનાથ ભગવાન
સોને કી છડી
રૂપે કી મશાલ
જરીયન કા જામા
મોતીયન કી માલા
આજુ સે બાજુ સે નિગાહ રખો
જીવદયા પ્રતિપાલક
ત્રણ લોક ના નાથ
દેવાધિદેવ
મિથિલા ના રાજાધિરાજ
વપ્રાદેવી ના નંદન
રાજા વિજય ના સપૂત
રાજ રાજેશ્વર
દયા ના સાગર
કરુણા ના ભંડાર
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
