श्री गंगा आरती — Word-by-Word Meaning

I bow to you, O Ganga; I bow to your lotus-feet, your divine form adored by gods and demons alike. Ever, according to their devotion, you grant to all people both devotion and liberation. Om, victory to Mother Ganga, glory to Mother Ganga! Whoever meditates upon you obtains the fruit his heart desires. Your light is like the moon and your water flows pure and clear; whoever takes refuge in you, that person is carried across. You delivered the sons of King Sagara and are the knower of all the world; your gracious glance is the giver of joy to the three worlds. Whoever comes even once to take refuge in you — his terror of Yama (death) is destroyed and he attains the supreme state. Whoever sings your aarti, O Mother, every day — that servant easily attains liberation.
