Lord Vishnu Aarti

Om Jai Jagadish Hare, Swami Jai Jagadish Hare.

Bhakta janon ke sankat, das janon ke sankat, kshan mein door kare.

Jo dhyave phal pave, dukh binase man ka.

Sukh sampati ghar ave, kasht mite tan ka.

Mata pita tum mere, sharan gahoon kiski.

Tum bin aur na dooja, aas karoon jiski.

Tum puran paramatma, tum antaryami.

Parabrahma parameshwar, tum sab ke swami.

Tum karuna ke sagar, tum palan karta.

Main murakh khal kami, kripa karo bharta.

Tum ho ek agochar, sab ke pranapati.

Kis vidhi miloon dayamaya, tumko main kumati.

Deen bandhu dukh harta, thakur tum mere.

Apne hath uthao, dvar pada tere.

Vishay vikar mitao, pap haro deva.

Shraddha bhakti badhao, santan ki seva.

Tan man dhan sab kuchh hai tera.

Tera tujhko arpan, kya lage mera.

Om Jai Jagadish Hare, Swami Jai Jagadish Hare.

Bhakta janon ke sankat, das janon ke sankat, kshan mein door kare.

This popular aarti praises Lord Vishnu as Jagdish, the Lord of the universe, who removes devotees hardships, grants peace, protects those who surrender, and dwells within every heart.
