भक्तीचिये पोटी बोध कांकडा ज्योती ।
पंचप्राण जीवेंभावें ओवाळूं आरती ॥ १ ॥
ओवाळूं आरती माझ्या पंढरीनाथा ।
दोन्ही कर जोडूनि चरणीं ठेविला माथा ॥ धृ ॥
काय महिमा वर्णू आतां सांगणें तें किती ।
कोटी ब्रह्महत्या मुख पाहतां जाती ॥ २ ॥
राही रखुमाबाई उभ्या दोन्ही दों बाहीं ।
मयूरपिच्छचामरें ढाळिती ठाईच्या ठाईं ॥ ३ ॥
विटेसहित पाय म्हणुनी भावें ओवाळूं ।
कोटी रवि शशी दिव्य उगवले हेळू ॥ ४ ॥
तुका म्हणे दीप घेउनी उन्मनींत शोभा ।
विटेवरी उभा दिसे लावण्यगाभा ॥ ५ ॥

What the aarti says, in simple English.
From the womb of devotion comes the flame of understanding, the kakad lamp; with my five life-breaths and all my heart I wave the aarti. I wave the aarti to my Lord of Pandhari; with folded hands I have placed my head at his feet. What glory can I describe – how much can I tell? Merely seeing his face removes millions of great sins. Rahi and Rakhumai stand on either side, waving peacock-feather fans. I lovingly wave the lamp before his feet along with the brick – it is as if millions of suns and moons have risen. Tuka says: holding the lamp, I see the beauty of the state beyond the mind – the very core of loveliness standing on the brick.
