Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional hymn written by Saint Goswami Tulsidas, the author of the Tulsi Ramayana (Ramacharitmanas), and dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the Monkey God. Also known as Bajrangbali, Lord Hanuman is one of the eight immortals (Astha Chiranjivi). This timeless ode embodies his faith, surrender, and devotion to Lord Ram. The word “Chalisa” is derived from “chalis”, which means the number 40 in Hindi, as the Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses.
As Hanuman Chalisa is one of the most powerful and popular lyrics among Hindu devotees, I tried to search for the meaning of each word and present it here. If you want to download the Hindi lyrics of Hanuman Chalisa, click the link given below.

श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि
बरनऊं रघुबर बिमल जसु जो दायकु फल चारि
Shree Guru Charan Saroj Raj, Nij Man Mukuru Sudhari
Barnau Raghuvar Bimal Jasu, Jo Dayaku Phal Chari
“Having cleaned the mirror of my mind with the dust from the lotus feet of my Guru, I sing the pure glories of Lord Ramachandra, who bestows the four fruits of life: religion, wealth, pleasure, and liberation.”
बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके सुमिरौं पवन कुमार
बल बुद्धि बिद्या देहु मोहिं हरहु कलेस बिकार
buddhina tanu janike sumiraun pavana kumara, bala buddhi vidya dehu mohin, harau klesa vikara

“As I know I am an ignorant fool, I meditate on the Son of Wind, Hanuman, and pray to him to give me strength, wisdom, and knowledge, purifying me from all defects and bad things.”
siyavara ramachandra ki jaya,
pavanasuta hanumana ki jaya,
umapati mahadeva ki jaya
“All glory to Mother Sita, Lord Ramachandra, the Son of the Wind, Hanuman, all glory to Lord Shiva, consort of Parvati.”
जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर, जय कपीस तिहुं लोक उजागर रामदूत अतुलित बल धामा, अंजनि पुत्र पवनसुत नामा
jaya hanumana jnana guna sagara, jaya kapisa tihun loka ujagara, rama duta atulita bala dhama, anjani putra pavana suta nama
“Glory to Hanuman, ocean of knowledge and good qualities. Glory to the lord of the Vanaras. His fame echoes through the three worlds. Glory to the divine messenger and servant of Sri Rama! He is known as Pavana Suta, son of the Wind and Mother Anjana, and his prowess is invincible.”
महाबीर बिक्रम बजरंगी, कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा, कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा
mahavira vikrama bajarangi, kumati nivara sumati ke sangi, kanchana varana viraja suvesa, kanana kundala kunchita kesa
“O Hanuman, you have unlimited courage and strength. You destroy ignorance and grant wisdom. Your complexion is golden, your hair is curly, and you wear earrings.”
हाथ बज्र औ ध्वजा बिराजै, कांधे मूंज जनेऊ साजै
संकर सुवन केसरीनंदन, तेज प्रताप महा जग बन्दन
hatha bajur aru dhvaja virajai, kandhe munja janeu sajai,
sankara suvana kesari nandana, tej pratapa maha jaga vandana
“In one hand, you hold the divine Vajra weapon. On the other, you have the flag with your emblem. Your shoulder is decorated with the holy thread. You are the [11th Rudra] avatar of Lord Shiva and son of Sri Keshari. Your great prowess is famous all over the world.”
विद्यावान गुनी अति चातुर, राम काज करिबे को आतुर प्रभु चरित्र सुनिबे को रसिया, राम लखन सीता मन बसिया
vidyavan guni ati chatur, rama kaja karive ko atur, prabhu charitra sunive ko rasiya, rama lakshmana sita mana basiya
“You have the greatest wealth of divine knowledge. You are virtuous and intelligent, ready to serve Lord Rama, and your greatest pleasure is listening to His glories. Rama, Laksmana, and Sita always reside in your heart.”
सूक्ष्म रूप धरि सियहिं दिखावा, बिकट रूप धरि लंक जरावा भीम रूप धरि असुर संहारे, रामचंद्र के काज संवारे
suksma rupa dhari siyahin dikhava, vikata rupa dhari lanka jarava,
bhima rupa dhari asura sanhare, ramachandra ke kaja sanvare
“You appeared before Sita in a very small form, but you burned Lanka with a terrifying form and killed the demons with a gigantic form. In this way, you always serve Lord Rama.”
लाय सजीवन लखन जियाये, श्रीरघुबीर हरषि उर लाये रघुपति कीन्ही बहुत बड़ाई, तुम मम प्रिय भरतहि सम भाई
lae sanjivana lakhan jiyaye, sri raghuvira harshi ura laye, raghupati kinhi bahuta badai, tum mama priya bharatai sama bhai
“You brought the medicinal herb to revive Lakshmana, and overcome with joy, Rama embraced you and glorified you, saying that He loves you as much as He loves His brother Bharata.”
सहस बदन तुम्हरो जस गावैं, अस कहि श्रीपति कंठ लगावैं सनकादिक ब्रह्मादि मुनीसा, नारद सारद सहित अहीसा
sahasa vadana tumharo yasa gaven, asa kahi sripati kantha lagaven, sanakadika brahmadi munisa, narada sarada sahita ahisa
“Sesanaga, with his thousands of mouths, is singing your glories: with these words, Rama embraced you. Even the Kumaras, Narada, and Sarasvati cannot completely describe your glories.”
जम कुबेर दिगपाल जहां ते, कबि कोबिद कहि सके कहां ते तुम उपकार सुग्रीवहिं कीन्हा, राम मिलाय राज पद दीन्हा
yama kuvera digapala jahante, kavi kovida kahi saken kahante, tuma upakara sugrivahin kinha, rama milaya raja pada dinha
“Even Yama, Kuvera, the lords of the directions, poets, and sages are incapable of fully describing your glories. You introduced Rama to Sugriva, causing him to become the king of the Vanaras.”
तुम्हरो मंत्र बिभीषन माना, लंकेस्वर भए सब जग जाना जुग सहस्र जोजन पर भानू, लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू
tumharo mantra vibhisana mana, lankesvara bhae saba jaga jana, yuga sahasra yojana para bhanu, lilyo tahi madhura phala janu
“Following your advice, Vibhisana became the king of Lanka: everyone knows this. You grabbed the sun, millions of kilometers away in the sky, taking it for ripe fruit.”
प्रभु मुद्रिका मेलि मुख माहीं, जलधि लांघि गये अचरज नाहीं दुर्गम काज जगत के जेते, सुगम अनुग्रह तुम्हरे तेते
prabhu mudrika meli mukha mahin, jaldi landi gaye acaraja nahin, durgama kaja jagata ke jete, sugama anugraha tumhare te te
“You crossed the ocean keeping Rama’s ring in your mouth as a token for Sita. You could perform such a miraculous task because, with your grace, even impossible tasks become possible and easy.”
राम दुआरे तुम रखवारे, होत न आज्ञा बिनु पैसारे सब सुख लहै तुम्हारी सरना, तुम रक्षक काहू को डर ना
rama duare tuma rakhavere, hot na ajna vinu paisare, saba sukha lahai tumhari sarana, tuma raksaka kahu ko darana
“You always guard the door of Sri Rama, and without your permission, no one can enter. All the joys of life are obtained by taking shelter in you, and one under your protection has nothing to fear.”
आपन तेज सम्हारो आपै, तीनों लोक हांक तें कांपै भूत पिसाच निकट नहिं आवै, महाबीर जब नाम सुनावै
apana teja samharo ape, tinon loka hankate kanpe, bhuta pisacha nikata nahin ave, mahavira japa nama sunave
“Your radiance is supreme, and the three worlds tremble when you move. You are the supreme brahmachari, conserving your energy. By repeating the name of Hanuman, all the ghosts and demons are chased away.”
नासै रोग हरै सब पीरा, जपत निरंतर हनुमत बीरा संकट तें हनुमान छुड़ावै, मन क्रम बचन ध्यान जो लावै
nashai roga harai saba pira, japata nirantara hanumata vira, sankata se hanumana churavai, mana rama vachana dhyana jo lavai
“The constant repetition of the name of Hanuman destroys all diseases and sufferings. One who meditates on him with his mind, heart, and activities is saved from all difficulties.”
सब पर राम तपस्वी राजा, तिन के काज सकल तुम साजा और मनोरथ जो कोई लावै, सोइ अमित जीवन फल पावै
saba para rama tapasvi raja, tina ke kaja sakala tuma saja, aur manoratha jo koi lavai, soy amita jivana phala pavain
“Rama is the Lord of yoga, and all your actions are dedicated to Him. By your grace, all desires are granted.”
चारों जुग परताप तुम्हारा, है परसिद्ध जगत उजियारा साधु संत के तुम रखवारे, असुर निकंदन राम दुलारे
charon yuga paratapa tumhara, hai parasiddhi jagata uyjiara, sadhu santa ke tum rakhavare, asura nikandana rama dulare
“In all times, you are famous for your prowess and talents. Your glories are spread all over the universe. You protect the devotees and sages, destroy the demons, and are Rama’s beloved.”
अष्ट सिद्धि नौ निधि के दाता, अस बर दीन जानकी माता राम रसायन तुम्हरे पासा, सदा रहो रघुपति के दासा
asta siddhi nava nidhi ke data, asa vara dina janaki mata, rama rasayana tumhare pasa, sada raho raghupati ke dasa
“Mother Sita blessed you with the power to grant the eight spiritual perfections and the nine material prosperities, and Sri Rama gave you the power to heal. You are always His humble servant.”
तुम्हरे भजन राम को पावै, जनम-जनम के दुख बिसरावै अन्तकाल रघुबर पुर जाई, जहां जन्म हरि भक्त कहाई
tumhare bhajana rama ko pavai, janma janma ke dukha visravai, anta kale raghupati pura jay, jahan janmen hari bhakta kahai
“By meditating on you, one reaches Lord Rama and eliminates the sufferings of many lifetimes. After death, your devotee will reach the abode of Rama, where he will always be a devotee of the Lord.”
और देवता चित्त न धरई, हनुमत सेइ सर्ब सुख करई संकट कटै मिटै सब पीरा, जो सुमिरै हनुमत बलबीरा
aur devata chitta na dharai, hanumata sei sarva sukha karai, sankata harai mitai saba pira, jo sumire hanumata balavira
“The other Devas do not care for the sufferings of the human beings: only Hanuman is the source of all joys, and by remembering him, all sufferings disappear.”
जै जै जै हनुमान गोसाईं, कृपा करहु गुरुदेव की नाईं जो सत बार पाठ कर कोई, छूटहि बंदि महा सुख होई
jaya jaya jaya hanumana gosain, kripa karau gurudeva ki nain, yah satavara patha kara jaya, chhutahin band maha sukha hoy
“Victory and glory to Lord Hanuman! O divine Guru, bless us with your grace. Repeating this mantra one hundred times, one is liberated by all problems and obtains unlimited happiness.”
जो यह पढ़ै हनुमान चालीसा, होय सिद्धि साखी गौरीसा तुलसीदास सदा हरि चेरा, कीजै नाथ हृदय मंह डेरा
jo yaha parhai hanumana chalisa, haya siddhi sakhi gaurisha, tulasidasa sada harichera, kije natha hridaya mahana dera
“One who repeats this song with the glories of lord Hanuman obtains all the spiritual perfections. Tulasidasa, the eternal servant of the Lord, gives this promise in the name of Mahadeva, the lord of Gauri. O Lord, may you always reside in my heart.”
पवन तनय संकट हरन मंगल मूरति रूप राम लखन सीता सहित हृदय बसहु सुर भूप
pavanatanaya sankata harana mangala murti rupa, rama laskmana sita sahita hridaya basahu sura bhupa
“O Son of the Wind, you destroy all difficulties. Your form is all auspicious, and you always reside in my heart with Rama, Laksmana, and Sita.”

pavana suta hanumana ki jaya,
umapati mahadeva ki jaya
“Glories to Sita Rama, glories to Lord Hanuman, son of the wind, and glory to Shiva Mahadeva, husband of Uma!”
