ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता । तुमको निशिदिन सेवत, हर विष्णु विधाता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ उमा रमा ब्रह्माणी, तुम ही जग-माता । सूर्य-चंद्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि गाता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ दुर्गा रूप निरंजनि, सुख सम्पति दाता । जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि धन पाता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ तुम पाताल-निवासिनि, तुम ही शुभदाता । कर्म-प्रभाव-प्रकाशिनि, भवनिधि की त्राता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ जिस घर में तुम रहतीं, सब सद्गुण आता । सब सम्भव हो जाता, मन नहीं घबराता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ तुम बिन यज्ञ न होते, वस्त्र न कोई पाता । खान-पान का वैभव, सब तुमसे आता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ शुभ-गुण मंदिर सुंदर, क्षीरोदधि-जाता । रत्न चतुर्दश तुम बिन, कोई नहीं पाता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥ महालक्ष्मीजी की आरती, जो कोई नर गाता । उर आनंद समाता, पाप उतर जाता ॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता ॥

Meaning in English

Victory to Mother Lakshmi, served day and night by Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. She is Uma, Rama and Brahmani, mother of the world, sung by Narada and contemplated by sun and moon; giver of joy and wealth, so that whoever meditates on her gains prosperity and fulfilment. Where she dwells all virtue enters and the mind is unafraid; without her there is no sacrifice, no cloth, no plenty, and whoever sings her aarti is filled with joy and released from sin.
