The text

Refrain

ૐ જય જગદીશ હરે, સ્વામી જય જગદીશ હરે। Om Jai Jagdish Hare, Swami Jai Jagdish Hare

ભક્ત જનોં કે સંકટ, દાસ જનોં કે સંકટ, Bhakt Janon Ke Sankat, Das Janon Ke Sankat,

ક્ષણ મેં દૂર કરે॥ Kshan Mein Door Kare

Meaning

Om, glory to you, Hari, Lord of the universe! Glory to you, O Master! In a single moment you take away the troubles of your devotees and your servants.

Some prints (e.g. drikpanchang) omit the words "Das Janon Ke Sankat"; nearly all singers include them.

Meaning

Wipe away my craving for sense-pleasures and the mind's distortions; take away my sins, O God. Increase my faith and devotion, and my love of serving the saints.

Tradition sees "Shraddha" here as the poet's gentle signature, since his name was Shardha (Shraddha) Ram. Many families add a closing couplet, "Tan man dhan sab kuchh hai tera, tera tujhko arpan, kya laage mera", which is a later addition and not part of Phillauri's text. Some prints also add a "Kahat Shivanand Swami" stanza borrowed from the Shiva aarti.
