Aarti and Refrain
Jai bhairav deva, prabhu Jai bhairav deva
Jai kali aur gaura devi krit seva
Tumhin pap uddharak duhkh sindhu tarak
Bhakton ke sukh karak bhishan vapu dharak
Jai bhairav deva
Vahan shvan virajat kar trishul dhari
Mahima amit tumhari Jai Jai bhayahari
Jai bhairav deva
Tum bin deva seva saphal nahin hove
Chaumukh dipak darshan duhkh khove
Jai bhairav deva
Tel chataki dadhi mishrit bhashavali teri
Kripa kijiye bhairav, karie nahin deri
Jai bhairav deva
Panvon ghungharu bajat aru damaru damakat
Batukanath ban balakajan man harashavat
Jai bhairav deva
Batukanath ki Aarti jo koi nar gave
Kahe 'dharanidhar', nar manavanchhit phal pave
Jai bhairav deva
