Jai Ganesh Deva Devotional Song Lyrics

-->जय  गणेश , जय  गणेश , जय  गणेश  देवा
माता  जाकी  पारवती , पिता  महादेवा

एक  दांत  दयावंत , चार  भुजा  धारी
माथे  पर  तिलक  सोहे , मुसे  क़ी  सवारी
पान  चढ़े , फूल  चढ़े , और  चढ़े  मेवा 
लादूओं   का  भोग  लगे , संत  करे  सेवा
 
जय  गणेश , जय  गणेश , जय  गणेश  देवा ,
माता  जाकी  पारवती , पिता  महादेवा

अंधों  को  आंख  देत , कोधीन  को  काया
बंज्हन  ko  पुत्र  देत , निर्धन  को  माया
सूर्य  शाम  शरण  ए , सफल  कीजे  सेवा

जय  गणेश , जय  गणेश , जय  गणेश  देवा
माता  जाकी  पारवती , पिता  महादेवा
