सुखकर्ता दुखहर्ता (मराठी आरती)

सुखकर्ता दुःखहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची ।
नुरवी पुरवी प्रेम कृपा जयाची ।
सर्वांगी सुंदर उटी शेंदूराची ।
कंठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळाची ॥

जय देव जय देव जय मंगल मूर्ती ।
दर्शनमात्रे मन कामनापुर्ती ॥ जय देव ॥

रत्नखचित फरा तुज गौरीकुमरा ।
चंदनाची ऊटी कुंकुम केशरा ।
हीरे जडित मुकुट शोभतो बरा ।
रुणझुणती नूपुरे चरणी घागरिया ॥ जय देव ॥

लंबोदर पीतांबर फणिवरबंधना ।
सरळ सोंड वक्रतुण्ड त्रिनयना ।
दास रामाचा वाट पाहे सदना ।
संकटी पावावे निर्वाणी रक्षावे सुरवरवंदना ॥ जय देव ॥

॥ इति ॥

Sukhakarta duhkhaharta varta vighnachi |
Nurvi purvi prem kripa jayachi |
Sarvangi sundar uti shendurachi |

Saral sond vakratund trinyana |
Das ramacha vat pahe sadna |
Sankti pavave nirvani rakshave suravaravandna || jay dev ||

Meaning

What the aarti says, in simple English.

Ganesh brings joy, removes sorrow and leaves no trace of obstacles; his grace overflows with love. His whole body glows with a coating of sindoor and a necklace of pearls shines at his throat. Victory to the auspicious one – a mere glimpse of him fulfils the heart's desires. O son of Gauri, you wear a jewel-studded ornament, a paste of sandal, kumkum and saffron, a diamond crown, and anklets that jingle on your feet. Big-bellied, clad in yellow, girdled with a serpent, with straight and curved trunk and three eyes – Ramdas, the servant of Rama, waits for you at home: come in times of crisis and protect us at the end, O one worshipped by the gods.
