Shree Vishnu Aarti — Meaning

Om Jai Jagdish Hare is one of the best-loved aartis in Hindu homes and temples, widely attributed to Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri, who wrote it in the nineteenth century. It praises Vishnu as Jagdish, the Lord of the universe, and asks him for refuge, forgiveness and deeper devotion. It is sung while the lamp is waved at the end of almost any puja, and is often used for other deities too.

Om Jai Jagadiish Hare, Swaami Jai Jagadiish Hare
Glory to you, Hari, Lord of the whole universe. You remove the troubles of your devotees and servants in a single moment. This opening line returns as the refrain after every verse.
Jo Dhyaave Phal Paave, Duhkh-Bin Se Man Kaa
Whoever meditates on you receives the reward, and the sorrows of the mind fall away. Happiness and prosperity come into the home, and the body's suffering ends.
Maat Pitaa Tum Mere, Sharann Gahuu Kiskii
You are my mother and my father; whose shelter could I seek but yours? There is no one else besides you in whom I can place my hope.
Tum Puurann Paramaatmaa, Tum Antarayaamii
You are the complete, supreme Self, and you dwell within every heart, knowing all. You are the highest Brahman, the supreme Lord, the master of all.
Tum Karunnaa Ke Saagar, Tum Paalan-Kartaa
You are an ocean of compassion and the one who sustains the world. I am foolish and still chasing the fruits of my actions; I am your servant and you are my master, so be gracious to me, my protector.
Tum Ho Ek Agocar, Sabke Praann-Pati
You are the One beyond the reach of the senses, the lord of every living breath. Merciful one, how can someone as dull-witted as me ever reach you?
Diina-Bandhu Dukh-Hartaa, Thaakur Tuma Mere
Friend of the helpless and remover of sorrow, you are my Lord and my protector. Raise your hand to bless me and take me into your shelter, for I lie waiting at your door.
Vissay-Vikaar Mittaao, Paap Haro Devaa
Wipe away my cravings for worldly pleasures and the faults they bring, and take away my sins, O God. Increase my faith and devotion, and my wish to serve holy people.
