Jai Vaishnavi Mata, Maiya jai Vaishnavi Mata, Haath jod tere aage, aarti main gaata.
Victory to Mother Vaishnavi! With folded hands I sing your aarti before you.
शीश पे छत्र विराजे, मूरतिया प्यारी। गंगा बहती चरनन, ज्योति जगे न्यारी॥
Sheesh pe chhatra viraaje, murtiya pyaari, Ganga bahti charanan, jyoti jage nyaari.
A canopy shades your head and your form is lovely; the Ganga flows at your feet and a wondrous flame burns.
ब्रह्मा वेद पढ़े नित द्वारे, शंकर ध्यान धरे। सेवक चंवर डुलावत, नारद नृत्य करे॥
Brahma Ved padhe nit dvaare, Shankar dhyaan dhare, Sevak chanvar dulaavat, Naarad nritya kare.
At your door Brahma recites the Vedas every day and Shankar meditates on you; servants wave the whisk and Narada dances.
सुन्दर गुफा तुम्हारी, मन को अति भावे। बार-बार देखन को, ऐ माँ मन चावे॥
Sundar gupha tumhaari, man ko ati bhaave, Baar-baar dekhan ko, ai Maa man chaave.
Your beautiful cave delights the heart; Mother, my mind longs to see it again and again.
भवन पे झण्डे झूलें, घंटा ध्वनि बाजे। ऊँचा पर्वत तेरा, माता प्रिय लागे॥
Bhavan pe jhande jhoolen, ghanta dhvani baaje, Ooncha parvat tera, Mata priya laage.
Flags flutter over your shrine and bells ring out; Mother, your lofty mountain is dear to us.
पान सुपारी ध्वजा नारियल, भेंट पुष्प मेवा। दास खड़े चरणों में, दर्शन दो देवा॥
Paan supaari dhvaja naariyal, bhent pushp meva, Daas khade charnon mein, darshan do Deva.
Betel leaf and areca nut, a flag, a coconut, flowers and dried fruit are our offerings; your servants stand at your feet: Goddess, grant us darshan.
जो जन निश्चय करके, द्वार तेरे आवे। उसकी इच्छा पूरण, माता हो जावे॥
Jo jan nishchay karke, dvaar tere aave, Uski ichchha pooran, Mata ho jaave.
Whoever comes to your door with firm resolve, Mother, finds every wish fulfilled.
इतनी स्तुति निश-दिन, जो नर भी गावे। कहते सेवक ध्यानू, सुख सम्पत्ति पावे॥
Itni stuti nish-din, jo nar bhi gaave, Kahte sevak Dhyaanu, sukh sampatti paave.
Whoever sings this praise night and day, says the servant Dhyanu, gains happiness and prosperity.
