Maa Skandmata Aarti
Jai Teri Ho Skandmata,
Panchva Naam Tumhara Aata,
Sabke Mann Ki Jannan Hari,
Jag Janni Sab Ki Mehtari.
Teri Jyoti Jalata Rahu Main,
Hardam Tumhe Dhyata Rahu Main,
Kayi Namon Se Tujhe Pukara,
Mujhe Ek Hai Tera Sahara.
Kahi Pahado Par Hai Dera,
Kayi Shehron Mein Tera Basera,
Har Mandir Mein Tere Nazare,
Gun Gaye Tere Bhagat Pyare.
Bhagti Apni Mujhe Dila Do,
Shakti Meri Bigadi Bana Do,
Indar Aarti Devta Mil Saare,
Kare Pukaar Tumhare Dware.
Dusht Datya Jab Chadh Ker Aaye,
Tum Hii Khanda Hath Uthaye,
Daso Ko Sada Bachane Aaye,
Chaman Ki Aas Pujaane Aayi.
