TRANSLATION:
Taking the dust of my Guru’s lotus feet to polish the mirror of my heart,
I sing the pure fame of the best of Raghus, which bestows the four fruits of life.
I don’t know anything, so I remember you, Son of the Wind.
Grant me strength, intelligence and wisdom and remove my impurities and sorrows.

1. Hail Hanuman, ocean of wisdom/Hail Monkey Lord! You light up the three worlds.

2. You are Ram’s messenger, the abode of matchless power/ Anjani’s son, “Son of the Wind.”

3. Great hero, you are a mighty thunderbolt/Remover of evil thoughts and companion of the good

4. Golden hued and splendidly adorned/with heavy earrings and curly locks.

5. In your hands shine mace and a banner/a sacred thread adorns your shoulder.

6. You are an incarnation of Shiva and Kesari’s son/Your glory is revered throughout the world.

7. You are the wisest of the wise, virtuous and very clever/ ever eager to do Ram’s work.

8. You delight in hearing of the Lord’s deeds/ Ram, Lakshman and Sita dwell in your heart.

9. Assuming a tiny form you appeared to Sita/ in an awesome form you burned Lanka.

10. Taking a dreadful form you slaughtered the demons/completing Lord Ram’s work.

11. Bringing the magic herb you revived Lakshman/ Shri Ram embraced you with delight.

12. The Lord of the Raghus praised you greatly/”You are as dear to me as my brother Bharat!”

13. Thousands of mouths will sing your fame!”/ So saying Lakshmi’s Lord drew you to Himself.

14. Sanak and the sages, Brahma, and the munis/ Narada, Saraswati and the King of serpents,

15. Yama, Kubera, the guardians of the four quarters/poets and scholars-none can express your glory.

16. You did great service for Sugriva/ bringing him to Ram, you gave him kingship.

17. Vibhishana heeded your counsel/He became the Lord of Lanka, as the whole world knows.

18. Though the sun is millions of miles away/ you swallowed it thinking it to be a sweet fruit.

19. Holding the Lord’s ring in your mouth/ it’s no surprise that you leapt over the ocean.

20. Every difficult task in this world becomes easy by your grace.

21. You are the guardian at Ram’s door/ no one enters without your permission.

22. Those who take refuge in you find all happiness/ those who you protect know no fear.

23. You alone can withstand your own splendor/ the three worlds tremble at your roar.

24. Ghosts and goblins cannot come near/ Great Hero, when your name is uttered.

25. All disease and pain is eradicated/ by constantly repeating of your name, brave Hanuman.

26. Hanuman, you release from affliction all those/ who remember you in thought word and deed.

27. Ram, the ascetic king, reigns over all/ but you carry out all his work.

28. One who comes to you with any yearning/ obtains the abundance of the Four Fruits of Life.

29. Your splendor fills the four ages/ your glory is renowned throughout the world.

30. You are the guardian of saints and sages/ the destroyer of demons and the darling of Ram.

31. You grant the eight powers and nine treasures/ by the boon you received from Mother Janaki.

32. You hold the elixir of Ram’s name/ and remain eternally his servant.

33. Singing your praise, one finds Ram/ and the sorrows of countless lives are destroyed.

34. At death one goes to Ram’s own abode/ born there as God’s devotee.

35. Why worship any other deities/ from Hanuman you’ll get all happiness.

36. All affliction ceases and all pain is removed/ for those who remember the mighty hero, Hanuman.

37. Victory, Victory, Victory Lord Hanuman/ bestow your grace on me, as my Guru!

38. Whoever recites this a hundred times/ is released from bondage and gains bliss.

39. One who reads this Hanuman Chalisa/ gains success, as Gauri’s Lord (Shiva) is witness.

40. Says Tulsi Das, who always remains Hari’s servant’/ “Lord, make your home in my heart.”

Son of the Wind, destroyer of sorrow, embodiment of blessings,
With Ram, Lakshman and Sita, LIVE IN MY HEART, King of Gods!

You are the embodiment of blessings, Son of the Wind.
You destroy the root of everything that is inauspicious and harmful.
You are the embodiment of blessings, Son of the Wind.
You destroy the root of everything that is inauspicious and harmful.
