Pitru Paksha Prayer

O ancestors, with folded hands we pray
Guide our footsteps, bless our ways
Through tarpan offered, with water clear
We call your very presence, ever near

Accept this food, this humble rite
Shine upon us with your light bright
Grant us wisdom, peace, and grace
Keep your love alive in time and space

O Pitrus divine, we all bow to you
With gratitude eternal, deep and true
In Pitru Paksha, our voices rise
Bless our lives under your skies
