Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh Deva
जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा। माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा॥
एकदन्त दयावन्त, चार भुजा धारी। माथे सिन्दूर सोहे, मूसे की सवारी॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा॥
पान चढ़े फूल चढ़े, और चढ़े मेवा। लड्डुअन का भोग लगे, सन्त करें सेवा॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा॥
अन्धन को आँख देत, कोढ़िन को काया। बाँझन को पुत्र देत, निर्धन को माया॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा॥
'सूर' श्याम शरण आए, सफल कीजे सेवा। माता जाकी पार्वती, पिता महादेवा॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा॥
दीनन की लाज रखो, शम्भु सुतकारी। कामना को पूर्ण करो, जाऊँ बलिहारी॥ जय गणेश जय गणेश, जय गणेश देवा॥
Meaning
Glory to Lord Ganesha, son of Parvati and Mahadev. He has one tusk, is full of compassion, has four arms, wears sindoor on his forehead and rides a mouse. Betel leaves, flowers and dry fruit are offered to him, laddoos are his favourite offering and saints serve him. He gives sight to the blind, a healthy body to lepers, children to the childless and wealth to the poor. The poet Sur (traditionally Surdas) takes refuge in him, and the devotee asks the son of Shambhu to protect the humble and fulfil their wishes.
When it is recited
Sung first in every puja, since Ganesha is worshipped before all other gods, and daily through the Ganesh Chaturthi festival (Ganeshotsav).
