Aarti and Refrain
Shish gang ardhang parvati, sada birajat kailasi
Nandi bhringi nrity karat hain, dharat dhyan sur sukharasi
Jai kailasavasi
Shital mand sugandh pavan bah, baithe hain shiv avinashi
Karat gan gandharv sapt svar, rag ragini madhurasi
Jai kailasavasi
Yaksh-raksh-bhairav jahan dolat, bolat hain banake vasi
Koyal shabd sunavat sundar, bhramar karat hain gunja-si
Jai kailasavasi
Kalpadrum aru parijat taru, lag rahe hain lakshasi
Kamadhenu kotin jahan dolat, karat dugdhaki varsha-si
Jai kailasavasi
Suryakant sam parvat shobhit, chandrakant sam himarashi
Nity chhahon ritu rahat sushobhit, sevat sada prakriti-dasi
Jai kailasavasi
Rishi-muni dev danuj nit sevat, gan karat shruti gunarashi
Brahma-vishnu niharat nisidin, kachhu shiv hamakun pharamasi
Jai kailasavasi
Riddhi siddhi ke data shankar, nit sat chit anandarashi
Jinake sumirat hi kat jati, kathin kal-yamaki phansi
Jai kailasavasi
Trishuladharajika nam nirantar, prem sahit jo nar gasi
Dur hoy bipada us nar ki, janm-janm shivapad pasi
Jai kailasavasi
Kailasi kashike vasi, avinashi meri sudh lijo
Sevak jan sada charananako, apanon jan kripa kijo
Jai kailasavasi
Tum to prabhuji sada dayamay, avagun mere sab dhakiyo
Sab aparadh kshamakar shankar, kinkaraki binati suniyo
Jai kailasavasi
Iti sanpurnanm
