प्रारंभी विनती करू गणपती
प्रारंभी विनती करू गणपती विद्यादयासागरा ।
अज्ञानत्व हरोनी बुद्धि मति दे आराध्य मोरेश्वरा ।

हेरंबा गणनायका गजमुखा भक्तां बहू तोषवीं ॥

Prarambhi vinti karu ganpati vidyadayasagra |
Agyanatva haroni buddhi mati de aradhya moreshvara |

Heramba gananayka gajmukha bhaktan bahu toshvin ||
What the aarti says, in simple English.
At the very beginning we pray to Ganpati, ocean of learning and compassion. O Moreshwar, the one we worship, take away our ignorance and give us understanding and a clear mind. Send all worry, trouble, poverty and sorrow far away to another land. O Heramba, leader of the ganas, elephant-faced one – please your devotees in every way.
