Aarti of Maa Kalaratri
Kalaratri Jai-Jai Mahakali,
The one who protects from the jaws of time.
Destroyer of evil, your identify shines,
Mahachandi, your divine incarnation.
Throughout earth and sky your presence spreads,
Mahakali, your glory is supreme.
Bearing sword and defend,
Tasting the blood of demons.

In all places I witness your sight.
All gods and beings chant your reward,
Bloodthirsty but benevolent,
Providing your grace, no sorrow stays.
No sickness, no concern, no heavy misery,
Could none ever face struggling beneath your safety.
Oh Mahakali, shield your devotees,
We name with love,
Kalaratri Maa, victory to you!
