Hanuman chalisa :

Shri Guru Charan Sarooja-raj Nija manu Mukura Sudhaari
Baranau Rahubhara Bimala Yasha Jo Dayaka Phala Chari
Budhee-Heen Thanu Jannikay Sumirow Pavana Kumara
Bala-Budhee Vidya Dehoo Mohee Harahu Kalesha Vikaara




Jai Hanuman gyan gun sagar
Jai Kapis tihun lok ujagar


Ram doot atulit bal dhama
Anjaani-putra Pavan sut nama


Mahabir Bikram Bajrangi
Kumati nivar sumati Ke sangi


Kanchan varan viraj subesa
Kanan Kundal Kunchit Kesha


Hath Vajra Aur Dhuvaje Viraje
Kaandhe moonj janehu sajai


Sankar suvan kesri Nandan
Tej prataap maha jag vandan


Vidyavaan guni ati chatur
Ram kaj karibe ko aatur


Prabu charitra sunibe-ko rasiya
Ram Lakhan Sita man Basiya


Sukshma roop dhari Siyahi dikhava
Vikat roop dhari lank jarava


Bhima roop dhari asur sanghare
Ramachandra ke kaj sanvare


Laye Sanjivan Lakhan Jiyaye
Shri Raghuvir Harashi ur laye


Raghupati Kinhi bahut badai
Tum mam priye Bharat-hi-sam bhai


Sahas badan tumharo yash gaave
Asa-kahi Shripati kanth lagaave


Sankadhik Brahmaadi Muneesa
Narad-Sarad sahit Aheesa


Yam Kuber Digpaal Jahan te
Kavi kovid kahi sake kahan te


Tum upkar Sugreevahin keenha
Ram milaye rajpad deenha


Tumharo mantra Vibheeshan maana
Lankeshwar Bhaye Sub jag jana


Yug sahastra jojan par Bhanu
Leelyo tahi madhur phal janu


Prabhu mudrika meli mukh mahee
Jaladhi langhi gaye achraj nahee


Durgaam kaj jagath ke jete
Sugam anugraha tumhre tete


Ram dwaare tum rakhvare
Hoat na agya binu paisare


Sub sukh lahae tumhari sar na
Tum rakshak kahu ko dar naa


Aapan tej samharo aapai
Teenhon lok hank te kanpai


Bhoot pisaach Nikat nahin aavai
Mahavir jab naam sunavae


Nase rog harae sab peera
Japat nirantar Hanumant beera


Sankat se Hanuman chudavae
Man Karam Vachan dyan jo lavai


Sab par Ram tapasvee raja
Tin ke kaj sakal Tum saja


Aur manorath jo koi lavai
Sohi amit jeevan phal pavai


Charon Yug partap tumhara
Hai persidh jagat ujiyara


Sadhu Sant ke tum Rakhware
Asur nikandan Ram dulhare


Ashta-sidhi nav nidhi ke dhata
As-var deen Janki mata


Ram rasayan tumhare pasa
Sada raho Raghupati ke dasa


Tumhare bhajan Ram ko pavai
Janam-janam ke dukh bisraavai


Anth-kaal Raghuvir pur jayee
Jahan janam Hari-Bakht Kahayee


Aur Devta Chit na dharehi
Hanumanth se hi sarve sukh karehi


Sankat kate-mite sab peera
Jo sumirai Hanumat Balbeera


Jai Jai Jai Hanuman Gosahin
Kripa Karahu Gurudev ki nyahin


Jo sat bar path kare kohi
Chutehi bandhi maha sukh hohi


Jo yah padhe Hanuman Chalisa
Hoye siddhi sakhi Gaureesa


Tulsidas sada hari chera
Keejai Nath Hridaye mein dera




Pavan Tanay Sankat Harana
Mangala Murati Roop
Ram Lakhana Sita Sahita
Hriday Basahu Soor Bhoop
