Kaal Bhairav Aarti — Complete Lyrics
श्री काल भैरव आरती
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
जय भैरव देवा प्रभु जय भैरव देवा ।
जय काली और गौर देवी कृत सेवा ॥
Jaya bhairava deva prabhu jaya bhairava deva
Jaya kali aura gaura devi krita seva
Victory to Lord Bhairava, O Lord, victory to Bhairava; whom Kali and the fair Goddess Gauri themselves serve.
Verse 2
तुम्ही पाप उद्धारक दुःख सिन्धु तारक ।
भक्तों के सुख कारक भीषण वपु धारक ॥
Tumhi papa uddharaka duhkha sindhu taraka
Bhaktom ke sukha karaka bhishana vapu dharaka
You alone are the redeemer from sin, the ferryman across the ocean of sorrow; the giver of joy to your devotees, though you bear a fearsome form.
Verse 3
वाहन श्वान विराजत कर त्रिशूल धारी ।
महिमा अमित तुम्हारी जय जय भयहारी ॥
Vahana shvana virajata kara trishula dhari
Mahima amita tumhari jaya jaya bhayahari
Riding upon your mount the dog, the trident held in your hand; boundless is your glory — victory, victory, O remover of fear!
Verse 4
तुम बिन देवा सेवा सफल नहीं होवे ।
चौमुख दीपक दर्शन दुःख खोवे ॥
Tuma bina deva seva saphala nahim hove
Chaumukha dipaka darshana duhkha khove
Without you, O Lord, no act of worship bears fruit; the sight of your four-faced lamp drives every sorrow away.
Verse 5
तेल चटकी दधि मिश्रित भाषावाली तेरी ।
कृपा कीजिये भैरव करिए नहीं देरी ॥
Tela chataki dadhi mishrita bhashavali teri
Kripa kijiye bhairava karie nahim deri
Oil, a pinch of vermilion and curd mixed together are your offering; show your grace, O Bhairava, and make no delay.
Verse 6
पाँव घुँघरू बाजत अरु डमरू दमकावत ।
बटुकनाथ बन बालक जन मन हरषावत ॥
Panva ghungharu bajata aru damaru damakavata
Batukanatha bana balaka jana mana harashavata
Anklets ring at your feet and the damaru drum resounds; as Batuk Nath in the form of a child, you gladden every heart.
Verse 7
बटुकनाथ जी की आरती जो कोई नर गावे ।
कहे धरनीधर नर मनवांछित फल पावे ॥
Batukanatha ji ki arati jo koi nara gave
Kahe dharanidhara nara manavamchhita phala pave
Whoever sings this aarti of Batuk Nath — says Dharanidhar — obtains the fruit his heart desires.
