Aarti

जय श्री विश्वकर्मा प्रभु, जय श्री विश्वकर्मा |
सकल सृष्टि के करता, रक्षक स्तुति धर्मा ||

आदि सृष्टि मे विधि को श्रुति उपदेश दिया |
जीव मात्रा का जाग मे, ज्ञान विकास किया ||

ऋषि अंगीरा ताप से, शांति नहीं पाई |
रोग ग्रस्त राजा ने जब आश्रया लीना |
संकट मोचन बनकर डोर दुःखा कीना ||
जय श्री विश्वकर्मा.

जब रथकार दंपति, तुम्हारी टर करी |
सुनकर दीं प्रार्थना, विपत हरी सागरी ||

एकानन चतुरानन, पंचानन राजे |
त्रिभुज चतुर्भुज दशभुज, सकल रूप सजे ||

ध्यान धरे तब पद का, सकल सिद्धि आवे |
मन द्विविधा मिट जावे, अटल शक्ति पावे ||

श्री विश्वकर्मा की आरती जो कोई गावे |
भाजात गजानांद स्वामी, सुख संपाति पावे ||
जय श्री विश्वकर्मा.

Jai shri vishwakarma prabhu, jai shri vishwakarma |
Sakal srishti ke karta, rakshak stuti dharma ||

Aadi srishti me vidhi ko shruti updesh diya |
Jeev matra ka jag me, gyan vikas kiya ||

Rishi angira tap se, shanti nahin pai |
Rog grast raja ne jab aashraya leena |
Sankat mochan bankar door duhkha keena ||
Jai shri vishwakarma.

Jab rathkaar dampati, tumhari ter kari |
Sunkar deen prarthna, vipat hari sagari ||

Ekanan chaturanan, panchanan raje |
Tribhuj chaturbhuj dashbhuj, sakal roop saje ||

Dhyan dhare tab pad ka, sakal siddhi aave |
Mann dvividha mit jave, atal shakti pave ||

Shri vishwakarma ki aarti jo koi gave |
Bhajat gajanand swami, sukh sampati pave ||
Jai shri vishwakarma.
