Daivame Roohaye Ni

In my childhood, this prayer song was part of our daily family prayers at home. My grandfather and grandmother were living with us at the time, and my grandfather would lead the prayers. We would all sing this song together as a family, every day.

As I grew older, I began to realize that this song wasn’t used in any other home I knew. In fact, no one I asked had ever even heard of it. I often wondered how this song became such an iconic prayer song in our family—something that felt so personal and almost exclusive to us.

Later, when the internet became popular, I tried searching for this song, but I couldn’t find any reference to it anywhere. That still amuses me to this day.

Below, I’m sharing the lyrics of this special song. If anyone has heard it before, please let me know. I’d love to talk about it.

ദൈവമേ റൂഹായെ നീ

വേഗം എഴുന്നരുൾകാ

ഞങ്ങൾതൻ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ

ദൈവസ്നേഹാഗ്നി വീശി

നിൻ തിരു ദാനങ്ങളാൽ

സന്തതം മാനസങ്ങൾ

സംശുദ്ധമാക്കീടുക

സർവേശാ സ്നേഹരൂപാ

നന്മയെ സ്നേഹിപ്പാനും

തിന്മയെ ദ്വേഷിപ്പാനും

അങ്ങേ പ്രകാശമേകൂ

ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് നാൾക്കു നാളിൽ
