(REPLY) Sat Nam. the Aarti that is sung at the end of the Bhog ceremony is a beautiful traditional shabd you can find in the Amrit Kirtan. It starts: Gagan meh taal, rav chand deepak banay... (Loose transliteration) One translation begins: "In the sky's salver, the sun and the moon are the lamps and the stars with their orbs are the studded pearls..." SP
