Jai Maa Skandamata Ki Aarti
जय तेरी हो अस्कंध माता
पांचवा नाम तुम्हारा आता
सब के मन की जानन हारी
जग जननी सब की महतारी
तेरी ज्योत जलाता रहू मै
हरदम तुम्हे ध्याता रहू मै
कई नामो से तुझे पुकारा
मुझे एक है तेरा सहारा
कही पहाड़ो पर है डेरा
कई शेहरो मै तेरा बसेरा
हर मंदिर मै तेरे नजारे
गुण गाये तेरे भगत प्यारे
भगति अपनी मुझे दिला दो
शक्ति मेरी बिगड़ी बना दो
इन्दर आदी देवता मिल सारे
करे पुकार तुम्हारे द्वारे
दुष्ट दत्य जब चढ़ कर आये
तुम ही खंडा हाथ उठाये
दासो को सदा बचाने आई
'चमन' की आस पुजाने आई
