Om Jai Laxmi Mata Aarti lyrics in English
Om jai Lakshmi Mata, maiya jai Lakshmi Mata.
Tumko nishdin sevat, Hari Vishnu Vidhata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Uma, Rama, Brahmani, tum hi jag-mata.
Surya-Chandrama dhyavat, Narad rishi gata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Durga roop niranjani, sukh-sampatti data.
Jo koi tumko dhyavat, riddhi-siddhi dhan pata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Tum patal-nivasini, tum hi shubhdata.
Karma-prabhav-prakashini, bhavnidhi ki trata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Jis ghar mein tum rahtin, sab sadgun aata.
Sab sambhav ho jata, man nahin ghabrata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Tum bin yagya na hote, vastra na koi pata.
Khan-paan ka vaibhav, sab tumse aata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Shubh-gun mandir sundar, kshirodadhi-jata.
Ratna chaturdash tum bin, koi nahin pata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…
Mahalakshmi ji ki aarti, jo koi nar gata.
Ur anand samata, paap utar jata.
Om jai Lakshmi Mata…

ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता ।
तुमको निशदिन सेवत, हरि विष्णु विधाता ॥

उमा, रमा, ब्रह्माणी, तुम ही जग-माता ।
सूर्य-चन्द्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि गाता ॥

दुर्गा रूप निरंजनी, सुख-सम्पत्ति दाता ।
जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि धन पाता ॥

महालक्ष्मी जी की आरती, जो कोई नर गाता ।
उर आनन्द समाता, पाप उतर जाता ॥
॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥
Meaning of the aarti
Glory to you, Mother Lakshmi. Lord Vishnu and the Creator serve you day and night. Uma, Rama and Brahmani are all your forms; you are the mother of the whole world, and the Sun, the Moon and the sage Narada meditate on you and sing your praise.
In your pure form as Durga you give happiness and wealth. Whoever meditates on you gains prosperity, success and riches. Where you live, good qualities come; everything becomes possible and the mind is free of worry. Food, clothing and sacred rites are all possible only by your grace.
You arose from the ocean of milk during the churning of the ocean and are the beautiful temple of all good qualities; no one can obtain even the fourteen jewels of that churning without you. Whoever sings this aarti of Mahalakshmi with devotion is filled with joy and freed of sin.
