Aarti (आरती)
“जय महागौरी जगत की माया । जय उमा भवानी जय महामाया ॥
हरिद्वार कनखल के पासा । महागौरी तेरा वहा निवास ॥

चंदेर्काली और ममता अम्बे । जय शक्ति जय जय मां जगदम्बे ॥
भीमा देवी विमला माता । कोशकी देवी जग विखियाता ॥
हिमाचल के घर गोरी रूप तेरा । महाकाली दुर्गा है स्वरूप तेरा ॥
सती ‘सत’ हवं कुंड मै था जलाया । उसी धुएं ने रूप काली बनाया ॥
बना धर्म सिंह जो सवारी मै आया । तो शंकर ने त्रिशूल अपना दिखाया ॥
तभी मां ने महागौरी नाम पाया । शरण आने वाले का संकट मिटाया ॥
शनिवार को तेरी पूजा जो करता । माँ बिगड़ा हुआ काम उसका सुधरता ॥
‘चमन’ बोलो तो सोच तुम क्या रहे हो । महागौरी माँ तेरी हरदम ही जय हो ॥“

“Maya of Jai Mahagauri Jagat. Jai Uma Bhavani Jai Mahamaya॥
Dice of Haridwar Kankhal. Mahagauri Tera Waha Niwas॥
Chanderkali and Mamta Ambe. Jai Shakti Jai Jai Maa Jagadambe ॥
Bhima Devi Vimala Mata. Koshki Devi Jag Vikhiyata॥
Himachal’s home as white. Mahakali Durga is Swaroop Tera॥
Sati was ‘Sat’ and lit in the tank. The same smoke made the form black॥
Became Dharam Singh who came in a ride. So Shankar showed his trident॥
Then mother got the name Mahagauri. Crisis of the refugee is erased॥
Who worships you on Saturday? Mother wasted work, she improved ॥
When you say ‘Chaman’, think what you are doing. Mahagauri maa hai teri hara hi jai॥“
