ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा, स्वामी जय शिव ओंकारा।
Om, glory to Shiv ji, whose form is Om; O Swami, glory to Shiv ji, whose form is Om.
ब्रह्मा विष्णु सदाशिव अर्द्धांगी धारा॥
You are Brahma, Vishnu and Sadashiv, and You bear the Devi as half of Yourself.
एकानन चतुरानन पंचानन राजे।
In Your one-faced, four-faced and five-faced forms You shine;
हंसासन गरुड़ासन वृषवाहन साजे॥
You are resplendent seated on the swan, on Garuda, and riding the bull.
दो भुज चार चतुर्भुज दस भुज ते सोहे।
With two arms, with four arms, with ten arms You are adorned;
तीनों रूप निरखता त्रिभुवन जन मोहे॥
beholding Your three forms, the people of the three worlds are enchanted.
अक्षमाला वनमाला मुण्डमाला धारी।
You wear the akshamala, the garland of forest flowers and the garland of skulls;
चंदन मृगमद सोहे भाले शशिधारी॥
chandan and musk adorn Your brow, O bearer of the Moon.
श्वेताम्बर पीताम्बर बाघम्बर अंगे।
White cloth, yellow silk and the tiger skin adorn Your body;
सनकादिक गरुणादिक भूतादिक संगे॥
Sanaka and the sages, Garuda and his kind, and the bhoot-ganas are ever with You.
कर के मध्य कमंडलु चक्र त्रिशूलधारी।
In Your hands You hold the kamandalu, the chakra and the trishul;
सुखकारी दुखहारी जगपालन कारी॥
You give joy, You take away sorrow, You sustain the world.
ब्रह्मा विष्णु सदाशिव जानत अविवेका।
Brahma, Vishnu and Sadashiv — only the undiscerning take them to be three;
प्रणवाक्षर मध्ये ये तीनों एका॥
within the syllable Om these three are one.
लक्ष्मी व सावित्री पार्वती संगा।
Lakshmi Maa, Savitri and Parvati Maa are at your side;
पार्वती अर्द्धांगी, शिवलहरी गंगा॥
Parvati Maa is half of your body, and Ganga Maa flows from you in waves.
पर्वत सोहैं पार्वती, शंकर कैलासा।
Parvati Maa shines on the mountain, and Shankar dwells on Kailash;
भांग धतूर का भोजन, भस्मी में वासा॥
bhang and dhatura are your food, and you live in ash.
जटा में गंग बहत है, गल मुण्डन माला।
Ganga Maa flows in your matted hair, and a garland of skulls hangs at your throat;
शेष नाग लिपटावत, ओढ़त मृगछाला॥
Shesh Naag winds about you, and you wear a deerskin.
काशी में विराजे विश्वनाथ, नन्दी ब्रह्मचारी।
In Kashi you sit as Vishwanath, with Nandi, the brahmachari, before you;
नित उठ दर्शन पावत, महिमा अति भारी॥
those who rise each day and come for your darshan know how great your glory is.
त्रिगुण शिव जी की आरती जो कोई नर गावे।
Whoever sings this aarti of Shiv ji, who holds the three gunas,
कहत शिवानंद स्वामी मनवांछित फल पावे॥
says Swami Shivanand, gains the fruit their heart desires.
