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

Sahas badan tumharo yash gaave
Asa-kahi Shripati kanth lagaave

Sankadhik Brahmaadi Muneesa

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

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
