Aarti and Refrain
Om Jai yamuna mata, hari Om Jai yamuna mata
Jo nahave phal pave, sukh sampatti ki data
Om Jai yamuna mata
Pavan shriyamuna jal, shital agam bahai dhara
Jo jan sharan men aya, kar diya nistara
Om Jai yamuna mata
Jo jan pratah hi uthakar, nity snan kare
Yam ke tras na pave, jo nity dhyan kare
Om Jai yamuna mata
Kalikal men mahima, tumhari atal rahi
Tumhara bada mahatmy, charon ved kahi
Om Jai yamuna mata
An tumhare mata, prabhu avatar liyo
Nity nirmal jal pikar, kans ko mar diyo
Om Jai yamuna mata
Namo mat bhay harani, shubh mangal karani
Man bechain bhaya hai, tum bin vaitarani
Om Jai yamuna mata
Om Jai yamuna mata, hari Om Jai yamuna mata
Jo nahave phal pave, sukh sampatti ki data
Om Jai yamuna mata
