भगवान शिव · Marathi आरती
लवथवती विक्राळा (मराठी शंकर आरती)
लवथवती विक्राळा ब्रह्मांडी माळा ।
विषे कंठ काळा त्रिनेत्री ज्वाळा ।
लावण्य सुन्दर मस्तकी वाळा ।
तेथुनिया जळ निर्मळ वाहे झुळझुळा ॥ जय देव ॥
जय देव जय देव जय श्री शंकरा ।
आरती ओवाळू तुज कर्पुरगौरा ॥ जय देव ॥
कर्पुरगौरा भोळा नयनी विशाळा ।
अर्धांगी पार्वती सुमनांच्या माळा ।
विभुतीचे उधळण शितकंठ नीळा ।
ऐसा शंकर शोभे उमावेल्हाळा ॥ जय देव ॥
देवी दैत्य सागर मंथन पै केले ।
त्यामाजी अवचीत हलहल जे उठले ।
ते त्वा असुरपणे प्राशन केले ।
नीळकंठ नाम प्रसिद्ध झाले ॥ जय देव ॥
व्याघ्रांबर फणिवरधर सुंदर मदनारी ।
पंचानन मनमोहन मुनिजन सुखकारी ।
शतकोटीचे बीज वाचे उच्चारी ।
रघुकुळटीळक रामदासा अंतरी ॥ जय देव ॥

What the aarti says, in simple English.
Awesome and vast, Shiva wears the universe as a garland; his throat is dark with poison and fire burns in his third eye. The beautiful Ganga sits on his head and pure water flows from there in a gentle stream. Victory to Shankar – we wave the aarti before you, O one white as camphor. Innocent and wide-eyed, with Parvati as his half, garlanded with flowers, smeared with ash and blue-throated – so shines the beloved of Uma. When gods and demons churned the ocean, the deadly halahal poison arose and you drank it, becoming famous as Neelkanth. Wearing tiger skin and serpents, enemy of Kama, five-faced and captivating, giver of joy to sages – Ramdas holds the seed-mantra of Rama within his heart.
