Pitra Aarti Lyrics
जय जय पितरजी महाराज,मैं शरण पड़यो हूँ थारी।
शरण पड़यो हूँ थारी बाबा,शरण पड़यो हूँ थारी॥
आप ही रक्षक आप ही दाता,आप ही खेवनहारे।
मैं मूरख हूँ कछु नहि जाणू,आप ही हो रखवारे॥
जय जय पितरजी महाराज।
आप खड़े हैं हरदम हर घड़ी,करने मेरी रखवारी।
हम सब जन हैं शरण आपकी,है ये अरज गुजारी॥
जय जय पितरजी महाराज।
देश और परदेश सब जगह,आप ही करो सहाई।
काम पड़े पर नाम आपको,लगे बहुत सुखदाई॥
जय जय पितरजी महाराज।
भक्त सभी हैं शरण आपकी,अपने सहित परिवार।
रक्षा करो आप ही सबकी,रटूँ मैं बारम्बार॥
जय जय पितरजी महाराज।
Jaya Jaya Pitaraji Maharaja,Main Sharana Padayo Hun Thari।
Sharana Padayo Hun Thari Baba,Sharana Padayo Hun Thari॥
Apa Hi Rakshaka Apa Hi Data,Apa Hi Khevanahare।
Main Murakha Hun Kachhu Nahi Janu,Apa Hi Ho Rakhavare॥
Jaya Jaya Pitaraji Maharaja।
Apa Khade Hain Haradama Hara Ghadi,Karane Meri Rakhavari।
Hama Saba Jana Hain Sharana Apaki,Hai Ye Araja Gujari॥
Jaya Jaya Pitaraji Maharaja।
Desha Aura Paradesha Saba Jagaha,Apa Hi Karo Sahai।
Kama Pade Para Nama Apako,Lage Bahuta Sukhadai॥
Jaya Jaya Pitaraji Maharaja।
Bhakta Sabhi Hain Sharana Apaki,Apane Sahita Parivara।
Raksha Karo Apa Hi Sabaki,Ratun Main Barambara॥
Jaya Jaya Pitaraji Maharaja।
