Aarti Lyrics
॥ Shri Bhairava Aarti ॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile,Kara Joda Kara Vinati Karun।
Kripa Tumhari Chahiye,Main Dhyana Tumhara Hi Dharun।
Main Charana Chhuta Apake,Arji Meri Suna Lijiye॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Main Hun Mati Ka Manda,Meri Kuchha Madada To Kijiye।
Mahima Tumhari Bahuta,Kuchha Thodi Si Main Varnana Karun॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Karate Savari Svana Ki,Charon Disha Mein Rajya Hai।
Jitane Bhuta Aura Preta,Sabake Aapa Hi Sarataja Hai॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Hathiyara Hain Jo Apake,Usaka Kya Varnana Karun।
Mata Ji Ke Samane Tuma,Nritya Bhi Karate Sada॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Ga Ga Ke Guna Anuvada Se,Unako Rijhate Ho Sada।
Eka Sankali Hai Apaki,Taripha Usaki Kya Karun॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Bahuta Si Mahima Tumhari,Menhadipura Saranama Hai।
Ate Jagata Ke Yatri,Bajaranga Ka Sthana Hai॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Shri Pretaraja Sarakara Ke,Main Shisha Charana Mein Dharun।
Nishadina Tumhare Khela Se,Mataji Khusha Rahein॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
Sira Para Tumhare Hatha Rakha Kara,Ashirvada Deti Rahein।
Kara Joda Kara Vinati Karun,Aru Shisha Charanon Mein Dharun॥
Suno Ji Bhairava Ladile॥
