सूर्य देव आरती
Surya Dev Aarti
Om Jai Kashyap Nandan — the aarti of Surya, sung at sunrise worship, on Sundays and through Chhath.
समर्पितसूर्य देवॐ जय कश्यप नन्दन, प्रभु जय अदिति नन्दन।त्रिभुवन तिमिर निकंदन, भक्त हृदय चन्दन ॥
सप्त अश्वरथ राजित, एक चक्रधारी।दुःखहारी, सुखकारी, मानस मलहारी ॥
सुर मुनि भूसुर वन्दित, विमल विभवशाली।अघ-दल-दलन दिवाकर, दिव्य किरण माली ॥
सकल सुकर्म प्रसविता, सविता शुभकारी।विश्व विलोचन मोचन, भव-बंधन भारी ॥
कमल समूह विकासक, नाशक त्रय तापा।सेवत सहज हरत अति, मनसिज संतापा ॥
नेत्र व्याधि हर सुरवर, भू-पीड़ा हारी।वृष्टि विमोचन संतत, परहित व्रतधारी ॥
सूर्यदेव करुणाकर, अब करुणा कीजै।हर अज्ञान मोह सब, तत्त्वज्ञान दीजै ॥
Cross-checked against BhaktiBharat and Drik Panchang editions
Traditional public-domain Hindi devotional composition; BhajanDhara transcription and meanings prepared independently
The two editions agree on all seven verses. The refrain differs: BhaktiBharat reads ॐ जय कश्यप नन्दन, प्रभु जय अदिति नन्दन (set here, as it matches the metre of the Hindi aarti form), Drik Panchang reads जय कश्यप-नन्दन, ॐ जय अदिति नन्दन. Verse 5: सहज (set here) against Drik Panchang's साहज. No modern source translation is reproduced.
सूर्य देव आरती का अर्थ
Sung at sunrise worship, on Sundays and through the Chhath days, this aarti follows the standard Hindi aarti metre — the same shape as Om Jai Jagdish Hare — and moves from Surya's parentage and chariot to his role in the working of the world: day, rain, growth, the opening of lotuses. It closes not by asking for relief from any particular trouble but for the removal of ignorance, which is unusual among household aartis and worth noticing.
