Aarti of Neminath

Traditional evening aarti

आरती उतारूँ नेमिनाथ प्रभु की,
जय जय तेरी अद्भुत ज्योति की।

गिरनार पर्वत तप में रमे,
करुणा से जग जीवन थमे।
त्याग-वैराग्य की ज्योत जलाई,
मोक्ष-पथ की राह बताई।

शंख चिन्ह से शोभित स्वरूप,
करें सभी जन चरणों को धूप।
संसार-बन्धन तोड़ने वाले,
मुक्ति-दाता दुख हरने वाले।

आरती उतारूँ नेमिनाथ प्रभु की,
जय जय तेरी अद्भुत ज्योति की।
