दोहा
श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज, निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि।
बरनऊं रघुवर बिमल जसु, जो दायकु फल चारि॥
बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके, सुमिरौं पवन-कुमार।
बल बुद्धि विद्या देहु मोहि, हरहुं कलेस विकार॥
Doha
After cleansing the mirror of my mind with the pollen dust of holy Guru's Lotus feet, I profess the pure, untainted glory of Shri Raghuvar (Lord Rama), which bestows the four-fold fruits of life - Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha...
Fully aware of the deficiency of my intelligence, I concentrate my attention on Pavan Kumar (Hanuman) and humbly ask for strength, intelligence and true knowledge to relieve me of all blemishes, causing pain...
चौपाई
जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर। जय कपीस तिहुं लोक उजागर॥
राम दूत अतुलित बल धामा। अंजनि-पुत्र पवनसुत नामा॥
Chaupaai:
Victory to thee, O' Hanuman! Ocean of wisdom - All hail to you O' Kapisa! (fountain-head of power, wisdom and Shiva-Shakti) You illuminate all the three worlds (Entire cosmos) with your glory...
You are the divine messenger of Shri Ram... The repository of immeasurable strength, though known only as son of Pavan (Wind), born of Anjani...
महावीर विक्रम बजरंगी। कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी॥
कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा। कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा॥
With Limbs as sturdy as Vajra (The mace of God Indra), you are valiant and brave... On you attends good sense and wisdom... You dispel the darkness of evil thoughts...
Your physique is beautiful golden-coloured and your dress is pretty... You wear ear-rings and have long curly hair...
हाथ वज्र औ ध्वजा बिराजै। कांधे मूंज जनेऊ साजै॥
संकर सुवन केसरीनंदन। तेज प्रताप महा जग वंदन॥
You carry in your hand a lightening bolt along with a victory (Kesari) flag and wear the sacred thread on your shoulder...
As a descendant of Lord Shankar, you are a comfort and pride of Shri Kesari... With the lustre of your vast sway, you are propitiated all over the universe...
विद्यावान गुणी अति चातुर। राम काज करिवे को आतुर॥
प्रभु चरित्र सुनिवे को रसिया। राम लखन सीता मन बसिया॥
You are the repository of learning, virtuous and fully accomplished, always keen to carry out the behest's of Shri Ram...
You are an ardent listener, always so keen to listen to the narration of Shri Ram's life stories... Your heart is filled with what Shri Ram stood for... You therefore always dwell in the hearts of Shri Ram, Lakshman and Sita...
सूक्ष्म रूप धरि सियहिं दिखावा। विकट रूप धरि लंक जरावा॥
भीम रूप धरि असुर संहारे। रामचन्द्र के काज संवारे॥
You appeared before Sita in a diminutive form and spoke to her in humility... You assumed an awesome form and struck terror by setting Lanka on fire...
With overwhelming might, you destroyed the Asuras (demons) and performed all tasks assigned to you by Shri Ram with great skill...
लाय सजीवन लखन जियाये। श्रीरघुबीर हरषि उर लाये॥
रघुपति कीन्ही बहुत बड़ाई। तुम मम प्रिय भरतहिं सम भाई॥
You brought Sanjivani (a herb that revives life) and restored Lakshman back to life, Shri Raghuvir (Shri Ram) cheerfully embraced you with his heart full of joy...
Shri Raghupati (Shri Ram) lustily extolled your excellence and said: "You are as dear to me as my own brother Bharat..."
सहस बदन तुम्हरो जस गावैं। अस कहि श्रीपति कंठ लगावैं॥
सनकादिक ब्रह्मादि मुनीसा। नारद सारद सहित अहीसा॥
Shri Ram warmly embraced Hanumanji saying, "Let the thousands of living beings chant hymns of your glories..."
Sanak and the sages, saints, Lord Brahma, the great hermits Narad and Goddess Saraswati along with Sheshnag, the cosmic serpent, fail to sing the glories of Hanumanji exactly...
जम कुबेर दिगपाल जहां ते। कबि कोबिद कहि सके कहां ते॥
तुम उपकार सुग्रीवहिं कीन्हा। राम मिलाय राज पद दीन्हा॥
What to talk of denizens of the earth like poets and scholars etc... How can a mere poet give adequate expression of your super excellence, when Gods like Yamraj (God of Death), Kuber (God of Wealth), and Digpals (deputies guarding the four corners of the Universe) fail to narrate Hanuman's greatness in toto...
You rendered a great service for Sugreeva... It were you who united him with Shri Ram and installed him on the royal throne...
तुम्हरो मंत्र बिभीषन माना। लंकेस्वर भए सब जग जाना॥
जुग सहस्त्र जोजन पर भानू। लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू॥
By heeding your advice, Vibhishan became Lord of Lanka... This is known all over the Universe...
On your own, you dashed upon the Sun, which is at a fabulous distance of thousands of miles, thinking it to be a sweet luscious fruit...
प्रभु मुद्रिका मेलि मुख माही। जलधि लांघि गये अचरज नाहीं॥
दुर्गम काज जगत के जेते। सुगम अनुग्रह तुम्हरे तेते॥
Carrying the Lord's signet ring in your mouth, there is hardly any wonder that you easily leapt across the ocean...
The burden of all difficult tasks of the world become light with your kind grace...
राम दुआरे तुम रखवारे। होत न आज्ञा बिनु पैसारे॥
सब सुख लहैं तुम्हारी सरना। तुम रच्छक काहू को डर ना॥
You are the sentry at the door of Shri Ram's divine abode... No one can enter it without your permission...
All comforts of the world lie at your feet... The devotees enjoy all divine pleasures and feel fearless under your benign protection...
आपन तेज सम्हारो आपै। तीनों लोक हांक ते कांपै॥
भूत पिसाच निकट नहिं आवै। महाबीर जब नाम सुनावै॥
You alone are befitted to carry your own splendid valour... All the three worlds (entire universe) tremor at your thunderous call...
All the ghosts, demons and evil forces keep away, with the sheer mention of your great name, O'Mahaveer...
नासै रोग हरै सब पीरा। जपत निरंतर हनुमत बीरा॥
संकट ते हनुमान छुडावैं। मन क्रम बचन ध्यान जो लावैं॥
All diseases, pain and sufferings disappear on reciting regularly Shri Hanuman's holy name...
Those who remember Shri Hanuman in thought, words and deeds with sincerity and faith, are rescued from all crises in life...
सब पर राम तपस्वी राजा। तिन के काज सकल तुम साजा॥
और मनोरथ जो कोई लावै। सोई अमित जीवन फल पावै॥
All who hail, worship and have faith in Shri Ram as the Supreme Lord and the king of penance, you make all their difficult tasks very easy...
Whosoever comes to you for fulfillment of any desire with faith and sincerity, will he alone secure the imperishable fruit of human life...
चारों जुग परताप तुम्हारा। है परसिद्ध जगत उजियारा॥
साधु संत के तुम रखवारे। असुर निकंदन राम दुलारे॥
All through the four ages, your magnificent glory is acclaimed far and wide... Your fame is radiantly acclaimed all over the cosmos...
You are the saviour and the guardian angel of saints and sages and destroy all demons... You are the angelic darling of Shri Ram...
अष्ट सिद्धि नौ निधि के दाता। अस बर दीन जानकी माता॥
राम रसायन तुम्हरे पासा। सदा रहो रघुपति के दासा॥
You can grant to any one, any yogic power of eight siddhis (power to become light and heavy at will) and nine nidhis (riches, comfort, power, prestige, fame, sweet relationship etc...) This boon has been conferred upon you by Mother Janki...
You possess the power of devotion to Shri Ram... In all rebirths you will always remain Shri Raghupati's most dedicated disciple...
तुम्हरे भजन राम को पावैं। जनम जनम के दुख बिसरावैं॥
अंत काल रघुबर पुर जाई। जहां जन्म हरि-भक्त कहाई॥
Through hymns sung in devotion to you, one can find Shri Ram and become free from sufferings of several births...
If at the time of death one enters the divine abode of Shri Ram, thereafter in all future births he is born as the Lord's devotee...
और देवता चित्त न धरई। हनुमत सेइ सर्ब सुख करई॥
संकट कटै मिटै सब पीरा। जो सुमिरै हनुमत बलबीरा॥
One need not entertain any other deity for propitiation, as devotion of Shri Hanuman alone can give all happiness...
One is freed from all the sufferings and ill-fated contingencies of rebirths in the world... The one who adores and remembers Shri Hanuman...
जै जै जै हनुमान गोसाईं। कृपा करहु गुरु देव की नाईं॥
जो सत बार पाठ कर कोई। छूटहि बंदि महा सुख होई॥
Hail, Hail, Hail, Shri Hanuman, Lord of senses... Let your victory over the evil be firm and final... Bless me in the capacity as my supreme guru (teacher)...
One who recites Chalisa one hundred times, becomes free from the bondage of life and death and enjoys the highest bliss at last...
जो यह पढ़ै हनुमान चालीसा। होय सिद्धि साखी गौरीसा॥
तुलसीदास सदा हरि चेरा। कीजै नाथ हृदय महं डेरा॥
All those who recite Hanuman Chalisa (The forty Chaupais) regularly are sure to be benedicted... Such is the evidence of no less a witness as Bhagwan Shankar...
Tulsidas as a bonded slave of the Divine Master, stays perpetually at his feet, he prays "Oh Lord! You enshrine within my heart & soul..."
दोहा
पवनतनय संकट हरन, मंगल मूरति रूप।
राम लखन सीता सहित, हृदय बसहु सुर भूप॥
Doha
Oh! son of the wind, destroyer of all miseries, you are a symbol of auspiciousness... Along with Shri Ram, Lakshman and Sita, reside in my heart... Oh! King of Gods...
