ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी, मैया जय श्यामा गौरी । तुमको निशदिन ध्यावत, हरि ब्रह्मा शिवरी (शिवजी) ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
माँग सिन्दूर विराजत, टीको मृगमद को । उज्ज्वल से दोउ नैना, चन्द्रवदन नीको ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
कनक समान कलेवर, रक्ताम्बर राजै । रक्तपुष्प गल माला, कण्ठन पर साजै ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
केहरि वाहन राजત, खड्ग खप्पर धारी । सुर-नर-मुनिजन सेवत, तिनके दुखहारी ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
कानन कुण्डल शोभित, नासाग्रे मोती । कोटिक चन्द्र दिवाकर, सम राजत ज्योति ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
शुम्भ-निशुम्भ बिદારે, महिषासुर घाती । धूम्र विलोचन नैना, निशिदिन मदमाती ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
चण्ड-मुण्ड संहारे, शोणित बीज हरे । मधु-कैटभ दोउ मारे, सुर भयहीन करे ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
ब्रह्माणी, रुद्राणी, तुम कमला रानी । आगम निगम बखानी, तुम शिव पटरानी ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
चौंसठ योगिनी गावत, नृत्य करत भैरों । बाजत ताल मृदंगा, अरु बाजत डमरू ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
तुम ही जग की माता, तुम ही हो भरता । भक्तन की दुःख हर्ता, सुख सम्पत्ति कर्ता ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
भुजा चार अति शोभित, वरमुद्रा धारी । मनवांछित फल पावत, सेवत नर नारी ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
कंचन थाल विराजત, अगर कपूर बाती । श्री मालकेतु में राजत, कोटि रतन ज्योति ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥
माँ अम्બે की आरती, जो कोई नर गावे । कहत शिवानंद स्वामी, सुख-सम्पत्ति पावे ॥ ॐ जय अम्બે गौरी ॥

English meaning
English Translation: Glory to You, O Mother Ambe Gauri! Glory to You, O Mother Shyama Gauri! Day and night, Lord Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva constantly meditate upon You! Vermilion adorns the parting of Your hair, alongside a mark of fragrant musk; Both Your radiant eyes sparkle, and Your face is lovely as the autumn moon! Your divine form gleams like pure molten gold, dressed in celestial crimson garments; A garland of fragrant red blossoms elegantly graces Your neck! Seated majestically upon a lion, You hold the sword and ceremonial skull-cup; Gods, humans, and sages serve You, and You dispel all their sorrows! Shimmering earrings adorn Your ears, and a pearl graces Your nose; Your divine brilliance equals the radiance of millions of suns and moons! You defeated the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, and vanquished Mahishasura; Your eyes are filled with divine intoxication, destroying evil forces! You annihilated Chanda and Munda, and defeated Raktabija; You slew Madhu and Kaitabha, freeing the celestial gods from all fear! You are Brahmani, Rudrani, and Queen Lakshmi (Kamala); Vedas and scriptures celebrate You as the supreme consort of Shiva! Sixty-four Yoginis sing auspicious hymns while Bhairava dances in joy; Mridanga drums and Shiva's damaru beat in sublime harmony! You alone are the Mother of the cosmos, and You alone sustain it; You remove the suffering of devotees and bestow prosperity and joy! Your four magnificent arms bestow blessings and fearless refuge; All men and women who serve You attain the fulfillment of their heartfelt wishes! Upon a golden plate rests the Aarti with fragrant incense and camphor wicks; Shining like millions of gems in the sacred shrine of Shrimala! Whoever sings this Aarti of Mother Ambe with pure devotion, Declares Sage Shivanand Swami, attains enduring joy, peace, and spiritual fulfillment! Devotional Significance: The universally beloved evening Aarti of Mother Durga, composed by Shivanand Swami, sung across millions of Hindu homes and temples during Navratri and daily evening sandhya.
