Om Jai Shiv Omkara
ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा
Foremost aarti dedicated to Lord Shiva as Omkara — the primordial cosmic sound. Sung at conclusion of every Shiva worship. Recounts Shiva as Brahma, Vishnu, and Sadashiva combined; the destroyer of ignorance and giver of liberation.
Lyrics (Devanagari)
ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा, स्वामी जय शिव ओंकारा।
ब्रह्मा विष्णु सदाशिव, अर्द्धांगी धारा॥
एकानन चतुरानन पंचानन राजे।
हंसासन गरुड़ासन वृषवाहन साजे॥
दो भुज चार चतुर्भुज दशभुज ते सोहे।
तीनों रूप निरखता त्रिभुवन जन मोहे॥
English Transliteration
Om Jai Shiv Omkara, Swami Jai Shiv Omkara
Brahma Vishnu Sadashiva, Ardhangi Dhara
Ekanan Chaturanan Panchanan Raje
Hansasan Garudasan Vrishavahan Saje
Do bhuj char chaturbhuj dashabhuj te sohe
Teenon roop nirakhata tribhuvan jan mohe
Meaning
Hail to Lord Shiva, the primordial Omkara. You are Brahma, Vishnu, and Sadashiva, with Parvati as your half. You manifest with one face, four faces, and five faces; You ride the swan, the eagle, and the bull. With two arms, four arms, and ten arms You shine — beholding Your three forms enchants all three worlds.
