उत्कट साधुनि शिळा सेतु बांधोनी ।
लिंगदेह लंकापुर विध्वंसूनी ।
कामक्रोधादिक राक्षस मर्दूनी ।
देह अहंभाव रावण निवटोनी ॥ १ ॥
जय देव जय देव निजबोधा रामा ।
परमार्थें आरती सद्भावें आरती परिपूर्णकामा ॥ धृ ॥
प्रथम सीताशुद्धी हनुमंत गेला ।
लंका दहन करुनी अखया मारिला ।
मारिला जंबूमाळी भुवनी त्राहाटीला ।
आनंदाची गुढी घेऊनियां आला ॥ जय ॥ २ ॥
निजबळें निजशक्ति सोडविली सीता ।
म्हणूनि येणें झालें अयोध्ये रघुनाथा ।
आनंदें वोसंडे वैराग्य भरता ।
आरती घेऊन आली कौसल्या माता ॥ जय ॥ ३ ॥
अनाहतध्वनी गर्जती अपार ।
अठरा पद्में वानर करिती भुभुःकार ।
अयोध्येसी आले दशरथकुमार ।
नगरीं होत आहे आनंद थोर ॥ जय ॥ ४ ॥
सहज सिंहासनीं राजा रघुवीर ।
सोऽहंभावें तया पूजा उपचार ।
सहजांची आरती वाद्यांचा गजर ।
माधवदासा स्वामी आठव ना विसर ॥
जय देव जय देव निजबोधा रामा ।
परमार्थें आरती सद्भावें आरती परिपूर्णकामा ॥ ५ ॥

What the aarti says, in simple English.
This aarti reads the Ramayana as an inner journey. Rama built the bridge of stones with great effort, destroyed Lanka – the subtle body – crushed the demons of desire and anger, and killed Ravana, the ego that says ‘I am the body’. Refrain: Victory to Rama, the knowledge of the Self – with true devotion we offer the aarti of the highest truth to the one whose every wish is fulfilled. Hanuman went first to find Sita, burned Lanka, killed Akshaya and Jambumali and came back carrying the flag of joy. Sita was freed by Rama's own power, so the Lord of the Raghus came back to Ayodhya; Bharata overflowed with joy and detachment and Mother Kaushalya came with the aarti. The unstruck sound roared, countless vanaras shouted, the sons of Dasharatha reached Ayodhya and the city was full of joy. Rama sits naturally on the throne, worshipped with the feeling ‘I am That’; the aarti of the natural state resounds with music – Madhavdas prays, ‘O Lord, remember me, do not forget me.’
