Introduction
"Deh Shiva" is a thunderous devotional Hindi single by Arijit Singh, released on 8 August 2022 on Oriyon Music, the independent label Arijit himself founded. Written by Shloke Lal and Mumbai rapper MC Mawali, who also features on the track, the song is a street-level prayer to Lord Shiva built on the beat of a damru: "Bam bam bom bo bam bam bam." Released in the holy month of Shravan, when Mondays are devoted to Lord Shiva, it fuses temple chant with hip-hop energy, part bhajan and part argument with God. On this page you will find the complete Deh Shiva lyrics in Hindi in the Devanagari script, in Roman Hindi, and in a full line-by-line English translation, together with the song's meaning, its complete details and the official music video.
The Song
"Deh Shiva" is structured as a devotee's bargain with Bhole Nath, the innocent, easily pleased form of Shiva. Arijit Singh sings the hook as a demand wrapped inside devotion: "Deh deh Shiva", give, give, Shiva. Open your matted locks, we thirst for a single drop of the river you carry in them; smash open the pot of my fate; turn the season of my life around. The song gets specific in a way devotional music rarely does. The singer's life, he says, runs on three wheels like an auto-rickshaw, while his heart longs for a four-wheeled car. Then MC Mawali's rap widens the prayer into a working man's charter of demands: a house, a bride, a gold chain, rain for the fields, wisdom, courage and health for everyone, and justice in a world where, as he complains half laughing, his own umbrella is broken, people haggle to save pennies and even the goddesses of justice have tied blindfolds over their eyes. It is devotion with its sleeves rolled up, a prayer that is not afraid to tease, bargain and argue with the god it worships.
The Artists
Arijit Singh is the most loved Indian playback singer of his generation, but "Deh Shiva" shows a side of him listeners hear less often: Arijit the composer, and Arijit the raw, chanting vocalist, closer here to a folk devotee than to the romantic crooner of his film hits. He composed the song himself for his own label. Alongside him, MC Mawali is a Mumbai-based rapper known for socially conscious hip-hop delivered in Hindi, Marathi and English, and his verses ground the song in the everyday struggles of ordinary people, from broken umbrellas to dreams of an aeroplane. The sung sections are written by lyricist Shloke Lal with MC Mawali, blending scriptural imagery, the Ganga in Shiva's locks, the pot of fate, with the language of the street.
The Music Video
The official music video of "Deh Shiva", directed by Koyel Singh and Subha Sarkar with choreography by Shashank Dogra, throws the song's street energy onto the screen. It features performers Sarbeswar Das, Somnath Ghosh and Pradeep Bhattacharya as ecstatic Shiva devotees, bodies smeared and painted, tilak on the forehead and the sacred Om marked on a raised palm, dancing through the streets in the manner of a festive Shiva procession. Rather than telling a story, the video builds a mood: drums, colour, movement and a crowd lost in devotion, exactly the atmosphere of a Shravan Monday or a Mahashivratri celebration, and it is this artwork of a grinning, ash-covered devotee that fronts the song everywhere online.
The Music Label
"Deh Shiva" was released by Oriyon Music, the record label founded by Arijit Singh to put out independent, non-film music on his own creative terms. The label became the home for Arijit's personal projects outside the film industry, and "Deh Shiva", released on the label in August 2022 during the Shravan season, remains one of its best-known singles: a song where the singer is also the composer, releasing a devotional hip-hop experiment that no film soundtrack would have asked him for. Its success underlined why the label exists, giving one of India's biggest voices a space to chant, rap and experiment freely.

सपना है जाना हवाई जहाज़ में रहना

मेहनत है मज़दूरी के काज में
पैसे बिना हूँ तेरे ही राज में

Mol bhaav kare duniyaan
Bachane chawanniyaan
Kyu insaaf ki deviyaan
Baandhe aankho pe pattiyaan
Mere samajh nahi aate
Sapna hai jaana hawaai jahaaz mein rehna
Hai jaa ke mujhko taj mein
Mehnat hai mazdoori ke kaaj mein
Paise bina hoon tere hi raaj mein
Phir se batwaare kar saare
Hum kya tujhko nahi pyaare
Sona chaandi de chaandi de
Unki aandhi de aandhi de
La la la de de

Deh deh shiva thodi si shakti
De tu khol teri jataayein
Teri boond ko pyaase
Le le shiva meri tu bhakti
Khada aage main haath ghole

Bhole! Dekhe kya tu khada khada
Aye! Chappar de phaad tu zara
Aye! De meethi si de vaani
Aye! De aur jawaani

Deh Shiva Lyrics in English
Bam bam bom bo bam bam bam
Bam bam bom bo bam bam bam x(4)
Give, give, Shiva, I like to boom-boom
Come on, open Your matted locks
We thirst for a single drop of them
Take, take, Shiva, I wanna boom-boom
I stand before You with open hands
Give me what I ask for
Bhole, why do You just stand there watching?
Come on, smash open the pot of my fate
My life runs on three wheels
But my heart dreams of four
Come on, turn my season around
Aye! Aye! Aye!
Bhole, why do You just stand there watching?
Come on, smash open the pot of my fate
My life runs on three wheels
But my heart dreams of four
Come on, turn my season around
Aye! Aye! Aye!
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, take, take Shiva
Take, take Shiva, take, take Shiva

Bam bam bom bo bam bam bam
Baba.., baba baba ba baba babaa
Baba.., baba baba ba baba babaa
Om namah shivaay
Namah shivaay namah shivaay
Get me a house, get me a bride
Get me a chain of gold
Make it rain, rain, that will do for now
Give us purity, give us wisdom
Give our tongues their courage
And give people their health, that is all for now
Every day I come to Your door
Look, my umbrella is broken
And I still end up drenched
The world haggles over prices
Saving up its pennies
Why have the goddesses of justice
Tied blindfolds over their eyes?
I just cannot understand it
My dream is to fly off and live in an aeroplane
And end up inside the Taj
But my sweat is spent in a labourer's work
Without money, I am poor even in Your kingdom
Divide everything up all over again
Are we not dear to You?
Give gold and silver, give silver
Give them a whole storm of it
La la la, give, give
La la la, give, give
La la la, give, give
La la la, give, give
Give, give, Shiva, a little strength
Come on, open Your matted locks
We thirst for a single drop of them
Take, take, Shiva, take my devotion
I stand before You with open hands
Give me what I ask for
Bhole! Why do You just stand there watching?
Aye! Tear the rooftop wide open
Aye! Give me a sweet voice
Aye! Give me more youth
Aye! Do not turn my story upside down
Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, give, give Shiva
Give, give, Shiva, take, take Shiva
Take, take Shiva, take, take Shiva
Take it, aye! Shiva
Lyrics Meaning in English
"Deh Shiva" turns prayer into a negotiation, and that is its charm. In tradition, Shiva as Bhole Nath is the god who grants boons easily, almost carelessly, and the devotees in this song lean on that reputation with total affection: they ask boldly because they believe he gives boldly. The great mythic image at the song's centre is the Ganga, the river Shiva caught in his matted hair as she fell from heaven. The singer does not ask for the whole river, just for Shiva to open his locks and let a single drop fall, a small grace that would change everything. Around that image the song spins its humour: fate is a clay pot to be smashed open, and life is a three-wheeled rickshaw whose driver dreams of a car.
Beneath the humour, MC Mawali's verses paint a real social portrait: a poor man at God's door every day with a broken umbrella, haggling householders saving pennies, justice blindfolded, and dreams of aeroplanes and the Taj Mahal colliding with a labourer's daily wages. Yet the song never collapses into complaint. Its demands end in the oldest exchange of devotion, stated plainly in the bridge: "Le le Shiva meri tu bhakti" — take my devotion — in return for a little strength. Faith here is not passive; it argues, jokes and bargains, and trusts that Shiva is listening kindly.
