Jai Ganesh Jai Ganesh Deva (Ganesh Aarti): full text
जय गणेश जय गणेश जय गणेश देवा।
माता जाकी पार्वती पिता महादेवा॥
एकदंत दयावंत चार भुजाधारी।
माथे सिंदूर सोहे मूस की सवारी॥
अंधन को आँख देत कोढ़िन को काया।
बाँझन को पुत्र देत निर्धन को माया॥
हार चढ़े फूल चढ़े और चढ़े मेवा।
लड्डुअन का भोग लगे संत करें सेवा॥
दीनन की लाज राखो शंभु सुतवारी।
कामना को पूर्ण करो जाऊँ बलिहारी॥

It says he gives sight to the blind, a healthy body to the sick, a child to the childless and wealth to the poor. Garlands, flowers, fruit and laddoos are offered, and the devotee asks him to guard the honour of the poor.
