Durge Durghat Bhari
Marathi. Popularly attributed to Samarth Ramdas (1608 to 1681); the closing line names 'Narahari'..
The best-known Marathi aarti of the Goddess, sung in Maharashtrian homes and temples during Navratri, in daily worship of the Goddess, and on Tuesdays and Fridays.
verse 1
दुर्गे दुर्घट भारी तुजविण संसारी। अनाथनाथे अंबे करुणा विस्तारी॥ वारी वारी जन्ममरणाते वारी। हारी पडलो आता संकट निवारी॥
durge durghaṭ bhārī tujaviṇ saṃsārī| anāthanāthe aṃbe karuṇā vistārī|| vārī vārī janmamaraṇāte vārī| hārī paḍalo ātā saṃkaṭ nivārī||
O Durga, without you this worldly life is hard and heavy to bear. Mother Amba, protector of those who have no protector, spread your compassion over us. Stop, please stop, the cycle of birth and death. I have fallen, defeated; now take my trouble away.
refrain
जय देवी जय देवी महिषासुरमर्दिनी। सुरवर ईश्वर वरदे तारक संजीवनी॥
jay devī jay devī mahiṣāsuramardinī| suravar īśvar varade tārak saṃjīvanī||
Victory to the Goddess, victory to the slayer of Mahishasura. You grant boons to the greatest gods and to the Lord himself; you carry us across and bring us back to life.
verse 2
त्रिभुवनभुवनी पाहता तुज ऐसी नाही। चारी श्रमले परंतु न बोलवे काही॥ साही विवाद करिता पडले प्रवाही। ते तू भक्तांलागी पावसि लवलाही॥
tribhuvanabhuvanī pāhatā tuj aisī nāhī| cārī śramale paraṃtu na bolave kāhī|| sāhī vivād karitā paḍale pravāhī| te tū bhaktāṃlāgī pāvasi lavalāhī||
Search all the three worlds and there is none like you. The four (Vedas) grew weary and still could not describe you; the six (schools of philosophy) argued until they were swept away. Yet you come at once to your devotees.
verse 3 (signature)
प्रसन्नवदने प्रसन्न होसी निजदासा। क्लेशांपासुनि सोडवि तोडी भवपाशा॥ अंबे तुजवाचून कोण पुरविल आशा। नरहरि तल्लिन झाला पदपंकजलेशा॥
prasannavadane prasann hosī nijadāsā| kleśāṃpāsuni soḍavi toḍī bhavapāśā|| aṃbe tujavācūn koṇ puravil āśā| narahari tallin jhālā padapaṃkajaleśā||
With a gracious face you are pleased with your own servants; you free them from suffering and cut the noose of worldly bondage. Amba, who but you can fulfil our hopes? Narahari is lost in devotion to even a speck of your lotus feet.
Variants: Marathi Wikipedia reads 'महिषासुरमर्दिनी' in the refrain where Shubh Panchang reads 'महिषासुरमथिनी' (same meaning); also 'होती' vs 'होसी', 'न बोलावे' vs 'न बोलवे', 'जन्ममरणातें' vs 'जन्ममरणाते' and 'संकट नीवारीं' vs 'संकट निवारी'.
The meaning is our own plain-English rendering. Wording varies a little between families and regions.
