English translation of the Hanuman Chalisa,
Here is the English translation of the Hanuman Chalisa, a revered Hindu devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman:
Doha:
Hail to the Lotus Feet of the Guru, cleansing the mirror of the mind,
I sing the pure glory of Lord Rama, whose four fruits reward.
Chaupai:
Aware of my lack of intelligence, I remember you, O Pawan Kumar (Hanuman),
Grant me strength, wisdom, and knowledge, and remove all afflictions.
Victory to Hanuman, the ocean of knowledge and virtue,
Victory to the commander of the monkey army, who illuminates the three worlds.
Son of the wind, with incomparable strength,
Known as Anjaneya and Pavan's son.
The mighty and brave one, Bajrangi,
With a body as radiant as gold and earlobes adorned with Kundalas.
Carrying a mace and a flag, radiant and resplendent,
Wearing a loin cloth and a sacred thread across the shoulder.
Descendant of Lord Shiva and son of Kesari,
Endowed with great splendor and valor.
Endowed with wisdom, virtuous, and highly intelligent,
Eagerly engaged in Lord Rama's work.
Listening to the divine deeds of the Lord with rapt attention,
Residing in the hearts of Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita.
Assuming a tiny form, you appeared to Sita Mata,
Assuming a colossal form, you burnt down Lanka.
Taking on a gigantic form, you slew the demons,
Efficiently carrying out Lord Rama's tasks.
Bringing the herb from the Himalayas and reviving Lakshmana,
Filling Sri Rama with boundless joy.
Extolling the virtues of Lord Rama with devotion,
You humbled the pride of the demons.
Destroying the enemies with immense strength,
Listening to your name invokes awe.
Curing diseases and alleviating suffering,
Chanting Hanuman's name incessantly bestows strength.
Rescuing from distress and alleviating pain,
With focused mind and devotion.
Aiding the noble Lord Rama in his endeavors,
Your glory is immeasurable, and you are dear to Lord Shri Ram.
Fulfilling your duty as a messenger of Rama,
You achieved Ravana's defeat and brought joy.
Endowed with wisdom and incredible qualities,
You helped Vibhishana and became renowned in all worlds.
You even executed the tasks of Yama, Kubera, and the Guardians,
Who can fully narrate your wondrous virtues?
You performed countless meritorious deeds for Sugriva,
Enabling him to attain the throne.
Your name filled with immense power,
Evoked fear in demons and bestowed joy on saints.
You dispelled troubles and removed all suffering,
Constantly chanting Hanuman's name grants strength.
You saved King Lakshmana from danger,
Bringing immeasurable joy to Lord Rama's heart.
You offered your auspicious presence at Rama's service,
Efficiently accomplishing all his tasks.
Your magnificence is sung by those who extol you,
And it annihilates all obstacles and sins.
Chorus:
Hail Hanuman, the Supreme Guru,
Bestow your grace upon us, O Guru Dev.
Chanting your name a hundred times,
Dispels miseries and bestows immense happiness.
Chorus:
Hail Hanuman, the Lord of monkeys,
Shower your blessings upon us, O Lord.
Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa,
Removes all difficulties and obstacles.
Chanting your glories, O Hanuman,
Bestows divine blessings and grace.
Chorus:
Tulsidas, a humble servant of the Lord,
Bows his head in devotion to you, O Natha.
Doha:
The son of the Wind, the remover of sorrows, and the embodiment of auspiciousness,
Reside in my heart along with Lord Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita.
