Govardhan Pooja Aarti

हे! काह्ना

तेरी लीला अपरम्पार

किया तूने सबका उद्धार

तोड़ कर घमंड इन्द्र का तूने

गोवर्धन का महत्व बताया

ऊंगली पर पहाड़ उठाकर तूने

जिन्दगी का सच्चा पाठ पढ़ाया

पद से ना होता कोई महान

परोपकार ही सच्चा ज्ञान

तब से ही गोवर्धन पूजा का पर्व मनाया

नदी,पहाड़ का महत्व बढ़ाया ||
