Om Jai Jagdish Hare is a Hindu bhajan (devotional song), composed in around the 1870s by Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri of Punjab, India.
Even though it is written in Hindi language, it is used by all Hindus around the world speaking any of the numerous languages, or belonging to any one of many sects. The prayer is sung by the entire congregation at the time of Aarti, worship of the deity using a festal lamp.
