आए री मा गौरी मा

आए री मा गौरी मा
शुभ घड़ी है

आए री मा गौरी मा

शुभ समा
इस घड़ी के इस समय
भर दे सब की झोलियाँ
आई है तेरे द्वार पे
तेरी दासियान
ऐसे वार के दान दे
जो ग्वालों में श्याम हो
ऐसे वार के दान दे
जो ग्वालों में श्याम हो
जिसकी शोभा यून लगे
जो डेवोन में राम हो
ऐसे वार के दान दे
जो ग्वालों में श्याम हो

ऐसा पति ऐसा पिया
जो नभ लगे और मैं धारा
ऐसा पति ऐसा पिया
जो नभ लगे और मैं धारा
निस दिन रखे गरवा लगा
बीते सुखी जीवन मेरा
चरणों में तेरे
