Jai Ganesh Deva Aarti lyrics in English
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva.
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva…
Ek dant dayavant, char bhuja dhari.
Mathe sindoor sohe, moose ki savari.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva…
Paan chadhe, phal chadhe, aur chadhe meva.
Ladduan ka bhog lage, sant karein seva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva…
Andhan ko aankh det, kodhin ko kaya.
Baanjhan ko putra det, nirdhan ko maya.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva…
‘Soor’ Shyam sharan aaye, safal kije seva.
Mata jaki Parvati, pita Mahadeva.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva…
Deenan ki laaj rakho, Shambhu sutkari.
Kamna ko poorna karo, jaoon balihari.
Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva…
Jai Ganesh Deva Aarti in Hindi
जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ।
माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा ॥
॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ॥
एक दन्त दयावन्त, चार भुजा धारी ।
माथे सिन्दूर सोहे, मूसे की सवारी ॥
॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ॥
पान चढ़े फल चढ़े, और चढ़े मेवा ।
लड्डुअन का भोग लगे, सन्त करें सेवा ॥
॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ॥
अन्धन को आँख देत, कोढ़िन को काया ।
बाँझन को पुत्र देत, निर्धन को माया ॥
॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ॥
‘सूर’ श्याम शरण आए, सफल कीजे सेवा ।
माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा ॥
॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ॥
दीनन की लाज रखो, शम्भु सुतकारी ।
कामना को पूर्ण करो, जाऊँ बलिहारी ॥
॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा ॥
Meaning of the aarti
Glory to Lord Ganesha, whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadeva (Lord Shiva). He has one tusk, is full of compassion and has four arms; vermilion shines on his forehead and he rides a mouse.
Devotees offer him betel leaves, fruit and dry fruits; laddoos are offered as bhog and saints serve him. By his grace the blind receive sight, the sick a healthy body, the childless a child and the poor wealth.
The poet Surdas says: Lord, I have come to your refuge — make my service fruitful. O son of Shambhu, protect the honour of the humble and fulfil our wishes; I offer myself to you.
