Aarti

1. जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ।
   माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा ॥

   jay gaṇeś jay gaṇeś, jay gaṇeś devā |
   mātā jākī pārvatī, pitā mahādevā ||

   Victory to Lord Ganesha, whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadeva (Shiva).

2. एक दन्त दयावन्त, चार भुजा धारी ।
   माथे सिन्दूर सोहे, मूसे की सवारी ॥

   ek danta dayāvanta, cār bhujā dhārī |
   māthe sindūr sohe, mūse kī savārī ||

   With one tusk and full of compassion, he has four arms; vermilion shines on his forehead and he rides a mouse.

3. पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े, और चढ़े मेवा ।
   लड्डुअन का भोग लगे, सन्त करें सेवा ॥

   pān caṛhe phūl caṛhe, aur caṛhe mevā |
   laḍḍuan kā bhog lage, santa kareṃ sevā ||

   Betel leaves, flowers and dried fruits are offered to him; laddoos are his favourite offering, and the saints serve him.

4. अन्धन को आँख देत, कोढ़िन को काया ।
   बाँझन को पुत्र देत, निर्धन को माया ॥

   andhan ko ām̐kh det, koṛhin ko kāyā |
   bām̐jhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko māyā ||

   He gives sight to the blind and health to the sick, children to the childless and wealth to the poor.

5. सूर श्याम शरण आए, सफल कीजे सेवा ।
   माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा ॥

   sūr śyām śaraṇ āe, saphal kīje sevā |
   mātā jākī pārvatī, pitā mahādevā ||

   Surdas has come to your refuge — make our worship fruitful, O son of Parvati and Mahadeva.
