श्री शनिदेव जी की आरती
पूजा के अंत में जब शनि देव के सम्मुख दीप की आरती उतारी जाती है, तब यही गाया जाता है। पाँच छोटे छंद, जो भारत भर के घरों में कण्ठस्थ हैं। यहाँ सम्पूर्ण रूप में, जैसे गाए जाते हैं।
When the lamp is circled before Shani Dev at the close of worship, this is what is sung. Five short couplets, kept in households across India. Here they are in full, as they are sung.
