Aarti Of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj
रागु धनासरी महला १ ॥
गगन मै थालु रवि चंदु दीपक बने तारिका मंडल जनक मोती ॥
Upon that cosmic plate of the sky, the sun and the moon are the lamps. The stars and their orbs are the studded pearls.
धूपु मलआनलो पवणु चवरो करे सगल बनराइ फूलंत जोती ॥१॥
The fragrance of sandalwood in the air is the temple incense, and the wind is the fan. All the plants of the world are the altar flowers in offering to You, O Luminous Lord. ||1||
कैसी आरती होइ ॥
What a beautiful Aartee, lamp-lit worship service this is!
भव खंडना तेरी आरती ॥
O Destroyer of Fear, this is Your Ceremony of Light.
अनहता सबद वाजंत भेरी ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
The Unstruck Sound-current of the Shabad is the vibration of the temple drums. ||1||Pause||
सहस तव नैन नन नैन हहि तोहि कउ सहस मूरति नना एक तोही ॥
You have thousands of eyes, and yet You have no eyes. You have thousands of forms, and yet You do not have even one.
सहस पद बिमल नन एक पद गंध बिनु सहस तव गंध इव चलत मोही ॥२॥
You have thousands of Lotus Feet, and yet You do not have even one foot. You have no nose, but you have thousands of noses. This Play of Yours entrances me. ||2||
सभ महि जोति जोति है सोइ ॥
Amongst all is the Light-You are that Light.
तिस दै चानणि सभ महि चानणु होइ ॥
By this Illumination, that Light is radiant within all.
गुर साखी जोति परगटु होइ ॥
Through the Guru's Teachings, the Light shines forth.
जो तिसु भावै सु आरती होइ ॥३॥
That which is pleasing to Him is the lamp-lit worship service. ||3||
हरि चरण कवल मकरंद लोभित मनो अनदिनो मोहि आही पिआसा ॥
My mind is enticed by the honey-sweet Lotus Feet of the Lord. Day and night, I thirst for them.
क्रिपा जलु देहि नानक सारिंग कउ होइ जा ते तेरै नाइ वासा ॥४॥३॥
Bestow the Water of Your Mercy upon Nanak, the thirsty song-bird, so that he may come to dwell in Your Name. ||4||3||
नामु तेरो आरती मजनु मुरारे ॥
Your Name, Lord, is my adoration and cleansing bath.
हरि के नाम बिनु झूठे सगल पासारे ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Without the Name of the Lord, all ostentatious displays are useless. ||1||Pause||
नामु तेरो आसनो नामु तेरो उरसा नामु तेरा केसरो ले छिटकारे ॥
Your Name is my prayer mat, and Your Name is the stone to grind the sandalwood. Your Name is the saffron which I take and sprinkle in offering to You.
नामु तेरा अ्मभुला नामु तेरो चंदनो घसि जपे नामु ले तुझहि कउ चारे ॥१॥
Your Name is the water, and Your Name is the sandalwood. The chanting of Your Name is the grinding of the sandalwood. I take it and offer all this to You. ||1||
नामु तेरा दीवा नामु तेरो बाती नामु तेरो तेलु ले माहि पसारे ॥
Your Name is the lamp, and Your Name is the wick. Your Name is the oil I pour into it.
नाम तेरे की जोति लगाई भइओ उजिआरो भवन सगलारे ॥२॥
Your Name is the light applied to this lamp, which enlightens and illuminates the entire world. ||2||
नामु तेरो तागा नामु फूल माला भार अठारह सगल जूठारे ॥
Your Name is the thread, and Your Name is the garland of flowers. The eighteen loads of vegetation are all too impure to offer to You.
तेरो कीआ तुझहि किआ अरपउ नामु तेरा तुही चवर ढोलारे ॥३॥
Why should I offer to You, that which You Yourself created? Your Name is the fan, which I wave over You. ||3||
दस अठा अठसठे चारे खाणी इहै वरतणि है सगल संसारे ॥
The whole world is engrossed in the eighteen Puraanas, the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and the four sources of creation.
कहै रविदासु नामु तेरो आरती सति नामु है हरि भोग तुहारे ॥४॥३॥
Says Ravi Daas, Your Name is my Aartee, my lamp-lit worship-service. The True Name, Sat Naam, is the food which I offer to You. ||4||3||
