Om jai Brihaspati deva, jai Brihaspati deva | Chhin chhin bhog lagaun, kadali phal meva ||
Tum purn Parmatma, tum antaryami | Jagatpita Jagdishwar, tum sabke swami ||
Charanamrit nij nirmal, sab paatak harta | Sakal manorath dayak, kripa karo bharta ||
Tan, man, dhan arpan kar, jo jan sharan pade | Prabhu prakat tab hokar, aakar dwaar khade ||
Deendayal dayanidhi, bhaktan hitkari | Paap dosh sab harta, bhav bandhan haari ||
Sakal manorath dayak, sab sanshay haaro | Vishay vikar mitao, santan sukhkari ||
Jo koi aarti teri, prem sahit gave | Jethanand anandkar, so nishchay pave ||
