Opening Doha

जय गणेश गिरिजासुवन मंगल मूल सुजान ।
कहत अयोध्यादास तुम दे-उ अभय वरदान ॥

1 - 4

जय गिरिजापति दीनदयाला ।
सदा करत संतन प्रतिपाला ॥1॥

भाल चन्द्रमा सोहत नीके ।
कानन कुण्डल नाग फनी के ॥2॥

अंग गौर शिर गंग बहाये ।
मुण्डमाल तन क्षार लगाये ॥3॥

वस्त्र खाल बाघम्बर सोहे ।
छवि को देखि नाग मन मोहे

5 - 8

मैना मातु की हवे दुलारी ।
वाम अंग सोहत छवि न्यारी ॥5॥

कर त्रिशूल सोहत छवि भारी ।
करत सदा शत्रुन क्षयकारी ॥6॥

नन्दी गणेश सोहैं तहं कैसे ।
सागर मध्य कमल हैं जैसे ॥7॥

कार्तिक श्याम और गणरा-ऊ ।
या छवि कौ कहि जात न का-ऊ

9 - 12

देवन जबहीं जाय पुकारा ।
तबहिं दुख प्रभु आप निवारा ॥9॥

किया उपद्रव तारक भारी ।
देवन सब मिलि तुम्हिं जुहारी ॥10॥

तुरत षडानन आप पठायौ ।
लव निमेष महं मारि गिरायौ ॥11॥

आप जलंधर असुर संहारा ।
सुयश तुम्हार विदित संसारा

13 - 16

त्रिपुरासुर सन युद्ध मचायी ।
तबहिं कृपा कर लीन बचायी ॥13॥

किया तपहिं भागीरथ भारी ।
पुरब प्रतिज्ञा तासु पुरारी ॥14॥

दानिन महं तुम सम को-उ नाहीं ।
सेवक स्तुति करत सदाहीं ॥15॥

वेद माहि महिमा तुम गायी ।
अकथ अनादि भेद नहीं पायी

17 - 20

प्रकटे उदधि मंथन में ज्वाला ।
जरत सुरासुर भे विहाला ॥17॥

कीन्ह दया तहं करी सहायी ।
नीलकण्ठ तब नाम कहायी ॥18॥

पूजन रामचन्द्र जब कीन्हां ।
जीत के लंक विभीषण दीन्हा ॥19॥

सहस कमल में हो रहे धारी ।
कीन्ह परीक्षा तबहिं त्रिपुरारी

21 - 24

एक कमल प्रभु राखे-उ जोयी ।
कमल नयन पूजन चहं सोयी ॥21॥

कठिन भक्ति देखी प्रभु शंकर ।
भये प्रसन्न दिये इच्छित वर ॥22॥

जय जय जय अनंत अविनाशी ।
करत कृपा सबके घट वासी ॥23॥

दुष्ट सकल नित मोहि सतावैं ।
भ्रमत रहौं मोहे चैन न आवैं

25 - 28

त्राहि त्राहि मैं नाथ पुकारो ।
यह अवसर मोहि आन उबारो ॥25॥

ले त्रिशूल शत्रुन को मारो ।
संकट से मोहिं आन उबारो ॥26॥

मात पिता भ्राता सब कोई ।
संकट में पूछत नहीं कोई ॥27॥

स्वामी एक है आस तुम्हारी ।
आय हरहु मम संकट भारी

29 - 32

धन निर्धन को देत सदा ही ।
जो कोई जाँचै सो फल पाहीं ॥29॥

अस्तुति केहि विधि करों तुम्हारी ।
क्षमहु नाथ अब चूक हमारी ॥30॥

शंकर हो संकट के नाशन ।
मंगल कारण विघ्न विनाशन ॥31॥

योगी यति मुनि ध्यान लगावैं ।
शारद नारद शीश नवावैं

33 - 36

नमो नमो जय नमः शिवाय ।
सुर ब्रह्मादिक पार न पाय ॥33॥

जो यह पाठ करे मन लायी ।
ता पर होत हैं शम्भु सहायी ॥34॥

रनियां जो कोई हो अधिकारी ।
पाठ करे सो पावन हारी ॥35॥

पुत्र होन की इच्छा जोयी ।
निश्चय शिव प्रसाद तेहि होयी

37 - 41

पंडित त्रयोदशी को लावे ।
ध्यान पूर्वक होम करावे ॥37॥

त्रयोदशी व्रत करै हमेशा ।
तन नहीं ताके रहै कलेशा ॥38॥

धूप दीप नैवेद्य चढ़ावे ।
शंकर सम्मुख पाठ सुनावे ॥39॥

जन्म जन्म के पाप नसावे ।
अंत धाम शिवपुर में पावे ॥40॥

कहैं अयोध्यादास आस तुम्हारी ।
जानि सकल दुख हरहु हमारी

Closing Doha

नित नेम उठि प्रातःही पाठ करो चालीस ।
तुम मेरी मनकामना पूर्ण करो जगदीश ॥
