Om Jai Jagdish Hare Aarti Lyrics
ॐ जय जगदीश हरे, स्वामी जय जगदीश हरे। भक्त जनों के संकट, क्षण में दूर करे॥
Om Jai Jagdish Hare, Swami Jai Jagdish Hare, Bhakt janon ke sankat, kshan mein door kare.
O Lord of the Universe, victory to You. You remove the troubles of Your devotees in an instant.
जो ध्यावे फल पावे, दुख बिनसे मन का। सुख सम्पति घर आवे, कष्ट मिटे तन का॥
Jo dhyaave phal paave, dukh binse man ka, Sukh sampati ghar aave, kasht mite tan ka.
Whoever meditates upon You reaps the fruit, and the sorrow of the mind is destroyed; happiness and prosperity come home and the body's suffering ends.
मात-पिता तुम मेरे, शरण गहूँ मैं किसकी। तुम बिन और न दूजा, आस करूँ मैं जिसकी॥
Maat-pita tum mere, sharan gahun main kiski, Tum bin aur na dooja, aas karun main jiski.
You are my mother and father; whose refuge shall I seek but Yours? There is none other than You in whom I may place my hope.
