Maa Skandamata Aarti in Hindi

जय तेरी हो स्कन्द माता। पांचवां नाम तुम्हारा आता॥

सबके मन की जानन हारी। जग जननी सबकी महतारी॥

तेरी जोत जलाता रहूं मैं। हरदम तुझे ध्याता रहूं मै॥

कई नामों से तुझे पुकारा। मुझे एक है तेरा सहारा॥क

ही पहाड़ों पर है डेरा। कई शहरों में तेरा बसेरा॥

हर मन्दिर में तेरे नजारे। गुण गाए तेरे भक्त प्यारे॥

भक्ति अपनी मुझे दिला दो। शक्ति मेरी बिगड़ी बना दो॥

इन्द्र आदि देवता मिल सारे। करे पुकार तुम्हारे द्वारे॥

दुष्ट दैत्य जब चढ़ कर आए। तू ही खण्ड हाथ उठाए॥

दासों को सदा बचाने आयी। भक्त की आस पुजाने आयी॥
