jaya bhairava devā prabhu jaya bhairava devā |
jaya kālī aura gaurā devī kṛta sevā || jaya||
tumhī pāpa uddhāraka duḥkha sindhu tāraka |
bhaktoṃ ke sukha kāraka bhīṣaṇa vapu dhāraka || jaya||
vāhana śvāna virājata kara triśūla dhārī |
mahimā amita tumhārī jaya jaya bhayahārī || jaya||
tuma bina sevā devā saphala nahīṃ hove |
caumukha dīpaka darśana sabakā duḥkha khove || jaya||
tela caṭaki dadhi miśrita bhāṣāvali terī |
kṛpā kariye bhairava kariye nahīṃ derī || jaya||
pāva ghūṅgharu bājata aru ḍamaru ḍamakāvata |
baṭukanātha bana bālakajana mana haraṣāvata || jaya||
baṭukanātha kī āratī jo koī nara gāve |
kahe dharaṇīdhara nara manavāñchita phala pāve || jaya||
