दुर्गे दुर्घट भारी (मराठी देवी आरती)

दुर्गे दुर्घटभारी तुजवीण संसारी ।
अनाथ नाथे अम्बे करुणाविस्तारी ।
वारी वारी जन्म मरणांते वारी ।
हारी पडलो आता संकट नेवारी ॥ १ ॥

जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनि ।
सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारकसंजीवनी ॥ धृ ॥

तुजवीण भुवनी पाहता तुज ऐसे नाही ।
चारी श्रमले परंतु न बोलवे काही ।
साही विवाद करिता पडले प्रवाही ।
ते तू भक्तालागी पावसि लवलाही ॥ २ ॥

प्रसन्न वदने प्रसन्न होसी निजदासा ।
क्लेशांपासुनी सोडवी तोडी भवपाशा ।
अम्बे तुजवाचून कोण पुरवील आशा ।
नरहरी तल्लीन झाला पदपंकजलेशा ॥ ३ ॥

॥ इति ॥

The complete aarti in Roman script – for anyone who can't read Marathi Devanagari.

Durge durghatbhari tujvin sansari |
Anath nathe ambe karunavistari |
Vari vari janma marnante vari |
Hari padlo ata sankat nevari || 1 ||

Jay devi jay devi mahishasuramthini |
Survar ishvar varde tarakasanjivni || dhri ||

Tujvin bhuvni pahta tuj aise nahi |
Chari shramle parantu na bolve kahi |
Sahi vivad karita padle pravahi |
Te tu bhaktalagi pavsi lavlahi || 2 ||

Prasann vadne prasann hosi nijdasa |
Kleshampasuni sodvi todi bhavpasha |
Ambe tujavachun kon purvil asha |
Narhari tallin jhala padapankajlesha || 3 ||

Meaning

What the aarti says, in simple English.

O Durga, without you worldly life is terribly hard. Mother of the orphaned, spread your compassion and end this cycle of birth and death – I have fallen defeated, remove my troubles. Victory to the Goddess who crushed Mahishasura, giver of boons to the gods, saviour and life-giver. Searching the three worlds, none is like you; the four Vedas grew tired and could not describe you, and the six schools of philosophy were swept away in debate – yet you rush to your devotee's side. With a smiling face you are pleased with your own servants; free them from suffering and cut the bonds of worldly life. O Amba, who but you can fulfil our hopes? Narhari is absorbed in the dust of your lotus feet.
