The most widely sung aarti of Ganesh, son of Parvati and Mahadev, sung at the start and end of worship.
जय गणेश जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा । माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा ॥
jaya gaṇeśa jaya gaṇeśa jaya gaṇeśa devā । mātā jākī pārvatī pitā mahādevā ॥
गणेश जी की जय हो, जय हो, देव गणेश की जय हो, जिनकी माता पार्वती और पिता महादेव हैं।
Victory to Ganesh, victory to Ganesh, victory to Lord Ganesh, whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadev.
एक दंत दयावंत चार भुजा धारी । माथे सिंदूर सोहे मूसे की सवारी ॥
eka daṃta dayāvaṃta cāra bhujā dhārī । māthe siṃdūra sohe mūse kī savārī ॥
एक दाँत वाले, दयावान, चार भुजाओं वाले; उनके माथे पर सिंदूर शोभित है और वे मूषक की सवारी करते हैं।
Single-tusked and compassionate, with four arms; vermilion shines on his forehead, and he rides a mouse.
पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े और चढ़े मेवा । लड्डुअन का भोग लगे संत करें सेवा ॥
pāna caṙhe phūla caṙhe aura caṙhe mevā । laḍḍuana kā bhoga lage saṃta kareṃ sevā ॥
पान और फूल चढ़ते हैं (कुछ संस्करणों में: फल), और मेवा भी; लड्डुओं का भोग लगता है और संत उनकी सेवा करते हैं।
Betel leaves and flowers are offered (some editions: fruits), and dry fruits too; laddoos are offered to him, and saints serve him.
जय गणेश जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा । माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा ॥
jaya gaṇeśa jaya gaṇeśa jaya gaṇeśa devā । mātā jākī pārvatī pitā mahādevā ॥
गणेश जी की जय हो, जय हो, देव गणेश की जय हो, जिनकी माता पार्वती और पिता महादेव हैं।
Victory to Ganesh, victory to Ganesh, victory to Lord Ganesh, whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadev.
अंधन को आंख देत कोढ़िन को काया । बांझन को पुत्र देत निर्धन को माया ॥
aṃdhana ko āṃkha deta koṙhina ko kāyā । bāṃjhana ko putra deta nirdhana ko māyā ॥
वे अंधों को आँखें और कोढ़ियों को स्वस्थ काया देते हैं; निःसंतानों को पुत्र और निर्धनों को धन देते हैं।
He gives eyes to the blind and a healthy body to the leper; he gives a son to the childless and wealth to the poor.
सूर श्याम शरण आए सफल कीजे सेवा । माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा ॥
sūra śyāma śaraṇa āe saphala kīje sevā । mātā jākī pārvatī pitā mahādevā ॥
सूर श्याम आपकी शरण में आए हैं, उनकी सेवा सफल कीजिए; हे देव, जिनकी माता पार्वती और पिता महादेव हैं।
Sur Shyam has come to your refuge: make his service fruitful, you whose mother is Parvati and whose father is Mahadev.
दीनन की लाज राखो शम्भु सुतकारी । कामना को पूर्ण करो जग बलिहारी ॥
dīnana kī lāja rākho śambhu sutakārī । kāmanā ko pūrṇa karo jaga balihārī ॥
हे शम्भु-सुत, दीनों की लाज रखिए; हमारी कामना पूर्ण कीजिए, संसार आप पर बलिहारी है (कुछ संस्करणों में: मैं आप पर बलिहारी जाऊँ)।
Protect the honour of the humble, son of Shambhu; fulfil our wishes, the world is devoted to you (some editions: I offer myself to you).
About this text
Jai Ganesh Deva is a short Hindi aarti to Ganesh, sung in homes and temples across North India and at the start of almost every puja. It describes his single tusk, four arms, vermilion-marked forehead and mouse mount, the offerings of betel, flowers, dry fruit and laddoos, and his gifts to the blind, the sick, the childless and the poor. One stanza names "Sur Shyam" taking refuge. The refrain "Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh, Jai Ganesh Deva, Mata jaki Parvati, Pita Mahadeva" is sung after each stanza; this page prints it as the edition followed does.
How it is recited
It is sung while waving a lamp before Ganesh at the start or close of worship, every day during Ganesh Chaturthi, and before other aartis. Customs vary.
