Shree Lakshmiji ki Aarti

Jai lakshmi maataa, (Maiyaa) Jaya Lakshmi maataa |             Tumako nishadina Sevata, Har-Vishnu-Dhaataa ||

Uma, Ramaa, Brahmaanii, Tum hi Jaga maataa |             Surya Chandramaa dhyaavata, Naarada rishi gaataa || 

Durgarupa nirannjani, Sukha Sampati daataa |                    Jo koi tumako dhyaavata, riddhi-siddhi-dhana paataa || 

Tuuhii hai paataala basantii, Tuuhii shubha daataa |       Karma prabhaava prakaashini, Bhavanidhi ki Traataa ||

Jisa ghara tuma rahatii, Tanha saba sadaguna aataa |       Sab Sambhava ho jaataa, Mana nahin ghabaraataa ||     

Tuma bina yagya na hove, Vastra na koii paataa |        Khaana paana kaa vaibhava, Saba tumase hii aataa ||   

Shubha-Guna-Mandira Sundar, Kshirodadhi jaataa |      Ratana chaturdasha tuma bin, Koii nahiin paataa ||        

Mahaa-Lakshmi (jee) ki Aarti, Jo koii nara gaataa |             Ura Ananda Samaataa, Paapa utara jaataa ||
