Vishwakarma Ji Ki Aarti lyrics in English
Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma, Prabhu Jai Shri Vishwakarma,
Sakal Srishti Ke Karta, Rakshak Shruti Dharma.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Aadi Srishti Mein Vidhi Ko, Shruti Updesh Diya,
Jeev Matra Ka Jag Mein, Gyan Vikas Kiya.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Rishi Angira Tap Se, Shanti Nahin Payi,
Dhyan Kiya Jab Prabhu Ka, Sakal Siddhi Aayi.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Rog Grast Raja Ne, Jab Aashray Leena,
Sankat Mochan Bankar, Door Dukh Keena.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Jab Rathkar Dampati, Tumhri Ter Kari,
Sunkar Deen Prarthana, Vipat Hari Sagri.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Ekanan Chaturanan, Panchanan Raje,
Dvibhuj Chaturbhuj Dashbhuj, Sakal Roop Saje.

Dhyan Dhare Jab Pad Ka, Sakal Siddhi Aave,
Man Duvidha Mit Jave, Atal Shakti Pave.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Shri Vishwakarma Ji Ki Aarti, Jo Koi Nar Gave,
Kahat Gajanand Swami, Sukh Sampatti Pave.
॥ Om Jai Shri Vishwakarma… ॥
Vishwakarma Ji Ki Aarti in Hindi
ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा, प्रभु जय श्री विश्वकर्मा।
सकल सृष्टि के कर्ता, रक्षक श्रुति धर्मा॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
आदि सृष्टि में विधि को, श्रुति उपदेश दिया।
जीव मात्र का जग में, ज्ञान विकास किया॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
ऋषि अंगिरा तप से, शांति नहीं पाई।
ध्यान किया जब प्रभु का, सकल सिद्धि आई॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
रोग ग्रस्त राजा ने, जब आश्रय लीना।
संकट मोचन बनकर, दूर दुःख कीना॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
जब रथकार दंपति, तुम्हरी टेर करी।
सुनकर दीन प्रार्थना, विपत हरी सगरी॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
एकानन चतुरानन, पंचानन राजे।
द्विभुज चतुर्भुज दशभुज, सकल रूप साजे॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
ध्यान धरे जब पद का, सकल सिद्धि आवे।
मन दुविधा मिट जावे, अटल शक्ति पावे॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
श्री विश्वकर्मा जी की आरती, जो कोई नर गावे।
कहत गजानंद स्वामी, सुख संपत्ति पावे॥
॥ ॐ जय श्री विश्वकर्मा…॥
