तुलसी माता की आरती
जय जय तुलसी माता,
मैया जय तुलसी माता ।
सब जग की सुख दाता,
सबकी वर माता ॥
॥ जय तुलसी माता…॥
सब योगों से ऊपर,
सब रोगों से ऊपर ।
रज से रक्ष करके,
सबकी भव त्राता ॥
॥ जय तुलसी माता…॥
बटु पुत्री है श्यामा,
सूर बल्ली है ग्राम्या ।
विष्णुप्रिय जो नर तुमको सेवे,
सो नर तर जाता ॥
॥ जय तुलसी माता…॥
हरि के शीश विराजत,
त्रिभुवन से हो वंदित ।
पतित जनों की तारिणी,
तुम हो विख्याता ॥
॥ जय तुलसी माता…॥
लेकर जन्म विजन में,
आई दिव्य भवन में ।
मानव लोक तुम्हीं से,
सुख-संपति पाता ॥
॥ जय तुलसी माता…॥
हरि को तुम अति प्यारी,
श्याम वर्ण सुकुमारी ।
प्रेम अजब है उनका,
तुमसे कैसा नाता ॥
हमारी विपद हरो तुम,
कृपा करो माता ॥

जय जय तुलसी माता,
मैया जय तुलसी माता ।
सब जग की सुख दाता,
सबकी वर माता ॥
