Aarti

जय काली माता, मैया जय काली माता।

संतन की तू रक्षा, करती है तू भक्‍तों की॥

॥ जय काली माता..॥

मंगल की सेवा, सुन मेरी देवा।

हाथ जोड़ तेरे, द्वार खड़े॥

॥ जय काली माता..॥

पान सुपारी ध्वजा नारियल, ले ज्वाला तेरी भेंट धरें।

सुन जगदंबे कर ना विलंबे, संतन के भंडार भरें॥

॥ जय काली माता..॥

बुद्धि विधाता तू जगमाता, मेरा कारज सिद्ध करे।

चरण कमल का लिया आसरा, चरण तुम्हारे आन पड़े॥

॥ जय काली माता..॥

जब-जब पीर पड़े भक्तों पर, तब-तब आए सहाय करें।

संतन प्रतिपाली सदा खुशहाली, जय काली कल्याण करे॥

॥ जय काली माता..॥
