Refrain

ଓଁ ଜୟ ଜଗଦୀଶ ହରେ, ସ୍ୱାମୀ ଜୟ ଜଗଦୀଶ ହରେ। Om Jai Jagdish Hare, Swami Jai Jagdish Hare

ଭକ୍ତ ଜନୋଂ କେ ସଂକଟ, ଦାସ ଜନୋଂ କେ ସଂକଟ, Bhakt Janon Ke Sankat, Das Janon Ke Sankat,

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

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.

About Om Jai Jagdish Hare

Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri (1837–1881) was born in Phillaur near Ludhiana, Punjab. He was a scholar of Sanskrit, Hindi and Punjabi, a religious teacher and an early writer of Hindi prose. He composed "Om Jai Jagdish Hare" around 1870, in simple Hindi that anyone could sing. Within a few decades it had spread far beyond Punjab. Today it is sung at the end of worship to almost any deity, in homes and temples in India and abroad.

Questions

Is this the same Om Jai Jagdish Hare that is sung in Hindi?

Yes. These are the same Hindi words, written in Odia letters so you can read them aloud. It is a transliteration, not a translation into Odia. The meaning of each verse is given in English.

How was the Odia text prepared?

We keep one checked Devanagari edition (Traditional text of Pt. Shardha Ram Phillauri's aarti as given by drikpanchang.com "Shri Jagdish Ji Ki Aarti", cross-checked line by line with bhaktibharat.com "Om Jai Jagdish Hare Aarti"; authorship per hi.wikipedia.org "ॐ जय जगदीश हरे") and write it in Odia letters with fixed spelling rules, so every verse matches the original letter for letter. The English-letter line is the common singing spelling.
