ARATI GANESHJI KI

---------------------

Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh Devaa,

Mata Jaaki Parvati Pitaa Mahadevaa.

Laduwan ka bhog lage sant karein sewaa,

Ek dant dayawant,chaar bhujaa dhaari,

Maathe sindoor sohe muse ki savari,

Andhan ko aankh deta korihan ko kaaya,

Baanjhan ko putra deta nirdhan ko mayaa,

Haar charhe phool chareh aur chareh mewaa,

Rajendraji sharan aaye saphala karo sewaa.

Jai Ganesh,Jai Ganesh,Jai Ganesh Dewa..
