Brahma Aarti (Pitu Matu Sahayak) · श्री ब्रह्मा जी की आरती (पितु मातु सहायक)
"Pitu Matu Sahayak Swami Sakha", a prayer to the one Lord as father, mother, helper, master and friend, printed and sung as the aarti of Brahma.
पितु मातु सहायक स्वामी सखा तुम ही एक नाथ हमारे हो । जिनके कुछ और आधार नहीं तिनके तुम ही रखवारे हो ॥
pitu mātu sahāyaka svāmī sakhā tuma hī eka nātha hamāre ho । jinake kucha aura ādhāra nahīṃ tinake tuma hī rakhavāre ho ॥
पिता, माता, सहायक, स्वामी और सखा, आप ही हमारे एक नाथ हैं। जिनका कोई और आधार नहीं, उनके रखवाले आप ही हैं।
Father, mother, helper, master, friend: you alone are our one Lord. For those who have no other support, you alone are the protector.
सब भाँति सदा सुखदायक हो दुःख निर्गुण नाशन हारे हो । प्रतिपाल करो सिगरे जग को अतिशय करुणा उर धारे हो ॥
saba bhām̐ti sadā sukhadāyaka ho duḥkha nirguṇa nāśana hāre ho । pratipāla karo sigare jaga ko atiśaya karuṇā ura dhāre ho ॥
आप हर प्रकार से सदा सुख देने वाले हैं; निर्गुण रूप में आप दुख का नाश करने वाले हैं। हृदय में अपार करुणा रखकर आप सारे जगत का पालन करते हैं।
In every way you always give joy; beyond all qualities, you destroy sorrow. You care for the whole world, holding boundless compassion in your heart.
भुलि हैं हम तो तुमको तुम तो हमरी सुधि नाहिं बिसारे हो । उपकारन को कछु अन्त नहीं छिन ही छिन जो विस्तारे हो ॥
bhuli haiṃ hama to tumako tuma to hamarī sudhi nāhiṃ bisāre ho । upakārana ko kachu anta nahīṃ china hī china jo vistāre ho ॥
हम तो आपको भूल जाते हैं, पर आप हमारी सुध कभी नहीं भूलते; आपके उपकारों का कोई अंत नहीं, जिन्हें आप क्षण-क्षण बढ़ाते रहते हैं।
We may forget you, but you never forget to care for us; there is no end to your kindnesses, which you spread moment by moment.
महाराज महा महिमा तुम्हरी मुझसे बिरले बुधवारे हो । शुभ शान्ति निकेतन प्रेमनिधि मन मन्दिर के उजियारे हो ॥
mahārāja mahā mahimā tumharī mujhase birale budhavāre ho । śubha śānti niketana premanidhi mana mandira ke ujiyāre ho ॥
हे महाराज, आपकी महिमा महान है, उसे जानने वाले ज्ञानी विरले ही हैं; आप शुभ शांति के धाम, प्रेम के निधि और मन-मंदिर के उजाले हैं।
O great King, great is your glory, and rare are the wise who know it; you are the auspicious home of peace, the treasure of love, the light of the temple of the mind.
इस जीवन के तुम जीवन हो इन प्राणन के तुम प्यारे हो । तुम सों प्रभु पाय प्रताप हरि केहि के अब और सहारे हो ॥
isa jīvana ke tuma jīvana ho ina prāṇana ke tuma pyāre ho । tuma soṃ prabhu pāya pratāpa hari kehi ke aba aura sahāre ho ॥
आप इस जीवन के जीवन हैं, इन प्राणों के प्यारे हैं। प्रताप कहते हैं, हे हरि, आप जैसे प्रभु को पाकर अब और किसका सहारा लें?
You are the life of this life, the beloved of these breaths. Having found a Lord like you, O Hari, says Pratap, whose support would we seek now?
About this text
This prayer does not describe Brahma's form; it speaks to the one Lord who is father, mother, helper, master and friend, the protector of those with no other support. It says the Lord always gives joy and removes sorrow, looks after the whole world with compassion, never forgets the devotee even when the devotee forgets him, and spreads his kindness moment by moment. It calls him the abode of peace, the treasure of love and the light of the temple of the mind, the life of life and the beloved of the breath, and the last line, which names the poet Pratap, asks whose support anyone could need after finding such a Lord. Only one independent edition of this aarti was found online, so its lines could not be compared; the text is taken from that edition, as the source box says.
How it is recited
It is sung in the worship of Brahma and as a general prayer at the end of puja. Customs vary.
