This bhajan is a humble salutation to Karni Mata of Deshnok, one of Rajasthan’s most revered manifestations of the Divine Mother. Sung in praise and gratitude, the song honours her as Jagdamba, Mahashakti, and Parvati Avatari—the supreme feminine force who protects, guides, and uplifts her devotees.
The verses recall her sacred birth in the Charan lineage and her role in awakening the flame of satya (truth), through which the community attained spiritual distinction. Karni Mata is remembered here not only as a divine presence but as a living शक्ति (shakti) whose actions shaped justice, devotion, and dharma. Episodes of her assuming the form of a lion, granting rightful rule, restoring sight, and carrying devotees across danger are invoked as symbols of her boundless compassion and power.
Throughout the bhajan, the repeated phrase “ghani khamma” is offered as an expression of profound reverence—an acknowledgment of her grace, protection, and motherly care. She is praised as the remover of suffering, the sustainer of faith, and the one who guides the devotee’s boat safely across the ocean of life.
The closing chants of “Jai Maa Karni” are not merely words of praise, but acts of surrender—spoken collectively, with devotion and humility. This bhajan stands as a reminder that Karni Mata is approached not through questioning, but through श्रद्धा (faith), कृतज्ञता (gratitude), and remembrance.

हे देशनोक री करणी माता हो ओ
हे देशनोक री करणी माता, घणी खम्मा हे माता घणी खम्मा
हे महाशक्ति जगदंबा करणी, घणी खम्मा हो थाने घणी खम्मा
हे पार्वती अवतारी करणी, घणी खम्मा हो थाने घणी खम्मा
हे देशनोक री करणी माता, घणी खम्मा हे माता घणी खम्मा ॥
मेहाजी के घर आंगन मे थे अवतार लियो ।
सत की जोत जगाने चारण कुल ने अमर कियो ।
हे देवल री जायो री करणी हो ओ ।
देवल री जायो री करणी घणी खम्मा हो थाने घणी खम्मा ॥
हे देशनोक री करणी माता, घणी खम्मा हे माता घणी खम्मा ॥
पापी कान्हा ने मारण ते सिंह रो रूप धरयो ।
राज दियो रीढमल ने खुद हात्या ते तिलक करयो ।
देवियाँ री महादेवी करणी हो ओ ।
देवियाँ री महादेवी करणी घणी खम्मा हो थाने घणी खम्मा ॥
हे देशनोक री करणी माता, घणी खम्मा हे माता घणी खम्मा ॥
आंधा बन्ना ने ज्योति देवी रो उद्धार करयो ।
कई डूबता तेथो माता बेड़ो पार करयो ।
भक्ता रा दुख हरणे वाळी हो ओ ।
भक्ता रा दुख हरणे वाळी घणी खम्मा हो थाने घणी खम्मा ॥
हे देशनोक री करणी माता, घणी खम्मा हे माता घणी खम्मा ॥
हे देशनोक री करणी माता, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
हे महाशक्ति जगदंबा करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
हे पार्वती अवतारी करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
हे कष्ट निवारे जय माँ करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
हो पार लगाये नैय्या करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
हे प्रेम से बोलो जय माँ करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
हे सारे बोलो जय माँ करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी
जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी, जय माँ करणी जय माँ करणी …
