Hanuman ji ki aarthi
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Aarthi ki jai Hanumaanaa lalaa ki, Dushta dalana Raghunatha kala ki
Let us worship the very dear Hanuman,
Who slays the wicked and is a crescent of Rama
Jaake bal se girivara kampe, Bhootha piscachaa nikata nahi jaanke
By his power, the majestic mountains trembled,
And devils and ghosts never came near us.
De bhidhaa Raghunaatha pathaee, Lanka jaari siya sudhi layee
Rama bid him farewell on his path,
And he brought good news of Sita,
After burning down Sri Lanka.
Lanka sii kota samudhra sii khaaii, Jaatha pavana sutha na laii
The son of the wind God leaped across the ocean,
And reached Lanka in the twinkling of an eye.
Bayen bhujaa se asura sanhare, Dahinai bhujaa sura ubhare
He killed Asuras with his left hand,
And protected the devas with his right hand.
Lankaa jaarai asura sanhare, Raja Rama ke kajaa samvare.
He burnt Lanka and killed the asuras,
And he managed to complete the task of King Rama.
Anjanee puthra maha bala daii, Deva sa nthaa ke sada sahayee
The son of Anjana gives excellent strength,
And always protects the Gods and the saints.
Lakshmana murchitha pade sakaree, Layee Sanjivini pranaa ubhare
When Lakshmana had fainted and was lying like dead,
He brought the Sanjivini and gave him back his life.
Paithi pataala thodi yama kaare, Ahirvanaa ke bhuja ukhade.
You went down to the world below, broke the gates of Yama,
And broke the arms of Mahi Ravana.
Sura nara muni jana Aarthi utharein, Jai jai jai kapi raja ucharen
When devas, sages and men pray you,
They chant, victory, victory to king of monkeys.
Kanchan tharaa kapoora suhaai, Aarthi Kartha anjani maiyan
Your mother, Anjana prays for you,
Waving a camphor light in a golden plate
Jo Hanuman ji ki Aarthi gave. Basi Vaikunta parama pada pave.
Those who sing this prayer to Hanuman,
Would live in the land of Vishnu and attain salvation
