जय अम्बे गौरी,
मैया जय श्यामा गौरी ।
तुमको निशदिन ध्यावत,
हरि ब्रह्मा शिवरी ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
मांग सिंदूर विराजत,
टीको मृगमद को ।
उज्ज्वल से दोउ नैना,
चंद्रवदन नीको ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
कनक समान कलेवर,
रक्ताम्बर राजै ।
रक्तपुष्प गल माला,
कंठन पर साजै ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
केहरि वाहन राजत,
खड्ग खप्पर धारी ।
सुर-नर-मुनिजन सेवत,
तिनके दुखहारी ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
कानन कुण्डल शोभित,
नासाग्रे मोती ।
कोटिक चंद्र दिवाकर,
सम राजत ज्योती ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
शुंभ-निशुंभ बिदारे,
महिषासुर घाती ।
धूम्र विलोचन नैना,
निशदिन मदमाती ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
चण्ड-मुण्ड संहारे,
शोणित बीज हरे ।
मधु-कैटभ दोउ मारे,
सुर भयहीन करे ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
ब्रह्माणी, रूद्राणी,
तुम कमला रानी ।
आगम निगम बखानी,
तुम शिव पटरानी ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
चौंसठ योगिनी मंगल गावत,
नृत्य करत भैरों ।
बाजत ताल मृदंगा,
अरू बाजत डमरू ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
तुम ही जग की माता,
तुम ही हो भरता,
भक्तन की दुख हरता ।
सुख संपति करता ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
भुजा चार अति शोभित,
वर मुद्रा धारी । [खड्ग खप्पर धारी]
मनवांछित फल पावत,
सेवत नर नारी ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
कंचन थाल विराजत,
अगर कपूर बाती ।
श्रीमालकेतु में राजत,
कोटि रतन ज्योती ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
श्री अंबेजी की आरति,
जो कोइ नर गावे ।
कहत शिवानंद स्वामी,
सुख-संपति पावे ॥
ॐ जय अम्बे गौरी..॥
जय अम्बे गौरी,
मैया जय श्यामा गौरी ।
