Jai Ganesh Deva
जय गणेश देवा
Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh Deva — the aarti sung at the close of Ganesha worship in most North Indian households.
Dedicated toLord Ganeshaजय गणेश जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा।माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा ॥
एक दंत दयावंत, चार भुजा धारी।माथे सिंदूर सोहे, मूसे की सवारी ॥
पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े, और चढ़े मेवा।लड्डुअन का भोग लगे, संत करें सेवा ॥
अंधे को आँख देत, कोढ़िन को काया।बाँझन को पुत्र देत, निर्धन को माया ॥
सूर श्याम शरण आए, सफल कीजे सेवा।माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा ॥

Attributed author: Traditional; the closing line carries the poetic signature 'Sur Shyam'
North Indian household aarti
Traditional public-domain devotional composition; BhajanDhara transcription and meanings prepared independently
Hindi Wikisource carries no transcription of this aarti, so the cited edition is used as the reference text and was checked against several widely published Hindi recensions. Two documented variants: the cited edition reads तिलक where most printings read सिंदूर (सिंदूर is set here), and verse order differs between editions — some place the अंधे को आँख verse before पान चढ़े. Some household versions add a दीनन की लाज राखो verse, which is not set here. No modern source translation is reproduced; the line meanings are original.

This is the aarti most North Indian households sing at the close of Ganesha worship, and for many people it is the first devotional text they learn by ear rather than from a page. Its structure is simple: a refrain naming Ganesha's parentage, then verses on his form, the offerings placed before him and his boundless giving, closing with the poet's signature and a return to the refrain. Aarti of this kind was made to be sung by a room of people holding a lamp, so its lines are short, its images concrete, and its claims generous in the way a song is generous.
