Surya Aarti: Om Jai Surya Bhagwan

1. Verse 1

   ॐ जय सूर्य भगवान, जय हो दिनकर भगवान। जगत् के नेत्रस्वरूपा, तुम हो त्रिगुण स्वरूपा। धरत सब ही तव ध्यान, ॐ जय सूर्य भगवान॥

   Om jay soorya Bhagwan, jay ho dinkar Bhagwan. Jagat ke netrasvaroopa, tum ho trigun svaroopa. Dharat sab hi tav dhyaan, om jay soorya Bhagwan ||

   Victory to you, Lord Surya, Lord Dinkar, maker of the day. You are the eye of the world and the embodiment of the three gunas, and all beings meditate on you.

2. Verse 2

   सारथी अरुण हैं प्रभु तुम, श्वेत कमलधारी। तुम चार भुजाधारी॥ अश्व हैं सात तुम्हारे, कोटि किरण पसारे। तुम हो देव महान॥

   Sarthi arun hain prabhu tum, shvet kamaldhari. tum chaar bhujadhari || ashva hain saat tumhare, koti kiran pasare. tum ho dev mahan ||

   O Lord, Aruna is your charioteer; you hold a white lotus and you have four arms. Seven horses draw your chariot, you spread countless rays, and you are the great god.

3. Verse 3

   ऊषाकाल में जब तुम, उदयाचल आते। सब तब दर्शन पाते॥ फैलाते उजियारा, जागता तब जग सारा। करे सब तब गुणगान॥

   Ooshakal mein jab tum, udyachal aate. sab tab darshan pate || phailate ujiyara, jagta tab jag saara. kare sab tab gungan ||

   When you come to the eastern mountain of sunrise (Udayachal) at dawn, everyone receives your darshan. You spread light, the whole world wakes, and all sing your praise.

4. Verse 4

   संध्या में भुवनेश्वर, अस्ताचल जाते। गोधन तब घर आते॥ गोधूलि बेला में, हर घर हर आंगन में। हो तव महिमा गान॥

   Sandhya mein bhuvneshvar, astachal jaate. godhan tab ghar aate || godhooli bela mein, har ghar har aangan mein. ho tav mahima gan ||

   O Lord of the worlds (Bhuvaneshwar), when you go to the western mountain of sunset (Astachal) in the evening, the cattle come home. At the hour of cow-dust (godhuli), your glory is sung in every home and every courtyard.

5. Verse 5

   देव-दनुज नर-नारी, ऋषि-मुनिवर भजते। आदित्य हृदय जपते॥ स्तोत्र ये मंगलकारी, इसकी है रचना न्यारी। दे नव जीवनदान॥

   Dev-danuj nar-nari, rishi-munivar bhajte. aaditya hriday japte || stotra ye mangalkari, iski hai rachna nyari. de nav jivandan ||

   Gods, demons, men, women, rishis and sages worship you and chant the Aditya Hridayam. The aarti says that this auspicious hymn is a matchless composition that gives new life.

6. Verse 6

   तुम हो त्रिकाल रचयिता, तुम जग के आधार। महिमा तब अपरम्पार॥ प्राणों का सिंचन करके, भक्तों को अपने देते। बल, बुद्धि और ज्ञान॥

   Tum ho trikal rachyita, tum jag ke aadhar. mahima tab aprampar || pranon ka sinchan karke, bhakton ko apne dete. bal, buddhi aur gyaan ||

   You are the maker of the three times (past, present and future) and the support of the world; your glory is boundless. Nourishing the breath of life, you give your devotees strength, wisdom and knowledge.

7. Verse 7

   भूचर जलचर खेचर, सबके हो प्राण तुम्हीं। सब जीवों के प्राण तुम्हीं॥ वेद-पुराण बखाने, धर्म सभी तुम्हें माने। तुम ही सर्वशक्तिमान॥

   Bhoochar jalchar khechar, sabke ho pran tumhin. sab jivon ke pran tumhin || ved-Puran bakhane, dharma sabhi tumhen mane. tum hi sarvashaktiman ||

   You alone are the life of every creature that moves on land, in water and in the sky. The Vedas and Puranas praise you, all faiths honour you, and you alone are all-powerful.

8. Verse 8

   पूजन करतीं दिशाएं, पूजे दश दिक्पाल। तुम भुवनों के प्रतिपाल॥ ऋतुएं तुम्हारी दासी, तुम शाश्वत अविनाशी। शुभकारी अंशुमान॥

   Poojan kartin dishaen, pooje dash dikpal. tum bhuvnon ke pratipal || rituen tumhari dasi, tum shashvat avinashi. shubhkari anshuman ||

   The directions worship you, the ten guardians of the directions (dikpalas) honour you, and you sustain all the worlds. The seasons are your servants, you are eternal and imperishable, O Anshuman, bearer of rays, bringer of good.

This is the text found, almost identically, in the sources checked; spellings differ slightly, for example ‘sabke hon pran tumhin’ in verse 7 and ‘pujan karti dishayen’ in verse 8. When sung, the first verse (the refrain) is repeated after every verse, and the aarti closes with that verse again. Another popular aarti of the Sun god, ‘Jai Kashyap-nandan, Om Jai Aditi nandan’, is a separate text.

After the aarti, most homes recite: कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्।
