Shri Ramchandra krapalu bhaju mana
Harana bhavabhaya darunan
Navakanja lochan kanja mukha
Kara kanja pada kanjarunan
To remove my worst doubts and fears, I meditate upon the compassionate Shri Ramchandra Ji whose eyes, face, hands and feet are all like newly blown lotuses.
\ kandarpa aganita amita chabi \
navanila nirada sundaram
pat pita manahu tarita ruci suci
naumi janaka sutavaran
To Shri Ramchandra Ji whose beauty exceeds that of countless Cupid's and his yellow attire like flashes of lightning, to Thee who is the consort of Janaka's daughter, Sita, I do obeisance.
\ bhaju dinabandhu dinesa danava \
daitya vansa nikandanan
raghunand anand kanda kosalachanda
dasaraths nandana
O mind! Meditate upon Shri Ramchandra Ji, the benefactor of the weak and destroyer of demons and giants. He is the son of King Dasaratha and the delight of the Raghu's clan and scion of the solar race and it is He who is the source of all bliss.

udaru anga vibhusanan
ajanu bhujasara chapa dhara
sangrama jita khara dusanan
He has a crown on his head and pendant in his ears; He has the tilak on His forehead and his body decorated with ornaments. He holds his bow and arrow with his long arms and it was He who conquered the demons Khara and Dusaan.
\ iti vadati tulsidas sankara \
sekh muni man ranjana
mamm hrdaya kanja nivasa kuru
kamadi khala dal ganjanan
Shri Tulsidas, as he concludes this Arti, entreats Shri Ramchandra Ji. on whom munis and rishis meditate and who destroys all evil, to enter and make his heart His .. Shri Ramchandra Ji's abode.
\ Om! \
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
