Vat Savitri Aarti in Hindi (वट सावित्री आरती)
Hindi:
जय सावित्री माता, जय सावित्री माता।
पतिव्रता तुम हो, पूजनीय माता॥
सत्यवान की प्राण, तुमने ही बचाए।
यमधर्म के पाश, तोड़ कर हटाए॥
वट वृक्ष के नीचे, पूजन तुम्हारा।
सौभाग्य देती हो, सब नारी को प्यारा॥
लक्ष्मी का स्वरूप हो, सरस्वती की वाणी।
पति की लंबी आयु, वर दो महारानी॥
धन्य-धन्य सावित्री, धन्य-धन्य नारी।
तेरी महिमा गाएं, दुनिया ये सारी॥

आरती जो कोई गावे, श्रद्धा से तुम्हारी।
सुख-सौभाग्य पावे, हर जन्म में नारी॥
