The Durgachi Aarti is a hymn paying obeisance to the Goddess Durga.
The lyrics in Marathi and transliteration in English:
॥ श्री दुर्गा देवीची आरती ॥
दुर्गे दुर्घट भारी तुजविण संसारी।
अनाथ नाथे अम्बे करुणा विस्तारी।
वारी वारी जन्म मरणांते वारी।
हारी पडलो आता संकट निवारी॥
जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनी।
सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारक संजीवनी॥
त्रिभुवन-भुवनी पाहता तुज ऐसी नाही।
चारी श्रमले परन्तु न बोलवे काही।
साही विवाद करिता पडले प्रवाही।
ते तू भक्तालागी पावसि लवलाही॥
जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनी।
सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारक संजीवनी॥
प्रसन्न वदने प्रसन्न होसी निजदासा।
क्लेशांपासुनि सोडवि तोडी भवपाशा।
अम्बे तुजवाचून कोण पुरविल आशा।
नरहरी तल्लिन झाला पदपंकजलेशा॥
जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमथिनी।
सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारक संजीवनी॥
॥ Shri Durga Devichi Aarti ॥
Durge Durghat Bhari Tujvin Sansari।
Anathanathe Ambe Karuna Vistari।
Vari Vari Janma Maranate Vari।
Hari Padalo Ata Sankat Nivari॥
Jai Devi Jai Devi Mahishasuramathini।
Suravara Ishwara Varade Taraka Sanjivani॥
Tribhuvana Bhuvani Pahata Tuja Aisi Nahi।
Chari Shramale Parantu Na Bolve Kahi।
Sahi Vivad Karita Padale Pravahi।
Te Tu Bhaktalagi Pavasi Lavalahi॥
Jai Devi Jai Devi Mahishasuramathini।
Suravara Ishwara Varade Taraka Sanjivani॥
Prasanna Vadane Prasanna Hosi Nijadasa।
Kleshampasuni Sodavi Todi Bhavapasha।
Ambe Tujvachun Kon Purvila Asha।
Narahari Tallina Jhala Padapankajalesha॥
Jai Devi Jai Devi Mahishasuramathini।
Suravara Ishwara Varade Taraka Sanjivani॥
