Hindi Aarti

ॐ जय जगदीश हरे, स्वामी जय जगदीश हरे। भक्त जनों के संकट, दास जनों के संकट, क्षण में दूर करे॥

Victory to the Lord of the universe, who quickly removes the troubles of devotees.

जो ध्यावे फल पावे, दुःख बिनसे मन का। सुख सम्पत्ति घर आवे, कष्ट मिटे तन का॥

Meditation on you bears fruit, eases sorrow, brings well-being and relieves suffering.

मात पिता तुम मेरे, शरण गहूँ मैं किसकी। तुम बिन और न दूजा, आस करूँ मैं जिसकी॥

You are my mother and father; apart from you, whose refuge and hope could I seek?

तुम पूरण परमात्मा, तुम अन्तर्यामी। पारब्रह्म परमेश्वर, तुम सबके स्वामी॥

You are the complete indwelling Supreme, the transcendent Lord and master of all.

तुम करुणा के सागर, तुम पालनकर्ता। मैं मूरख खल कामी, कृपा करो भर्ता॥

You are an ocean of compassion and the sustainer; show mercy to this imperfect seeker.

तुम हो एक अगोचर, सबके प्राणपति। किस विधि मिलूँ दयामय, तुमको मैं कुमति॥

You are one and beyond the senses, Lord of all life; teach my confused mind how to reach you.

दीनबन्धु दुःखहर्ता, ठाकुर तुम मेरे। अपने हाथ उठाओ, द्वार पड़ा तेरे॥

Friend of the humble and remover of sorrow, lift me with your protecting hand.

विषय विकार मिटाओ, पाप हरो देवा। श्रद्धा भक्ति बढ़ाओ, सन्तन की सेवा॥

Remove harmful attachments and wrongdoing; deepen faith, devotion and service to the saints.

ॐ जय जगदीश हरे, स्वामी जय जगदीश हरे। भक्त जनों के संकट, क्षण में दूर करे॥

Victory to the Lord of the universe, who quickly removes the troubles of devotees.
