Shri Hanuman Chaleesa :

Shri guru charan saraj raj, Nij manu mukur sudhare
Barnau raghubar bimal jasu, Jo dhayak phal chare
Budhihien tanu jaanke, Sumerao pavan-kumar
Bal budhi vidhya dehu mohe, Harhu kales bikar

Jai hanuman gyan gun sagar
Jai kapise tehu lok ujagar
Ram dut atulit bal dhama
Anjani putra pavan sut nama
Mahabir bikram bajragee
Kumati nivas sumati ke sangi
Kanchan baran biraj subesa
Kann kundal kunchit kesa
Haat vajar ao dheja biraje
Kandhe muj janeu sajee
Sankar suvan kesrinandan
Tej pratap maha jag bandhan
Vidhyavan gune aati chatur
Ram kaaj kaibe ko aatur
Prabhu charit sunibe ko rasiya
Ram lakhan sita maan basiya
Susham roop dhari siyahi dhikhava
Bikat roop dhari lank jarava
Bhim roop dhari asur sahare
Ramchandra ke kaaj savare
Laye sanjeevan lakhan jiyaye
Shriraghuvir harsha ure laye
Raghupati kinhe bahut badai
Tum mam preye bharat sam bhai
Sahart badan tumarhu jas gavey
Aas kahi shripati kant lagavey
Sankadeek bhramadhi munisa
Narad sarad sahit ahisa
Jam kuber digpal jaha thi
Kavi kovid kahi sake kaha thi
Tum upkar sughuv kehina
Ram milaye raj pad denha
Tumraho mantra vibhekshan mana
Lankeshvar bhaye sab jag jaan
Jug sahes jojan per bhanu
Linyo tahi madhur phal janu
Prabhu mudrika meli mukh mahi
Jaldhi ladhi gaye acraj nahi
Durgam kaaj jagat ke jete
Sugam anugrah tumre tete
Ram duaare tum rakhvare
Hoot na aagya binu pasare
Sab sukh lahai tumhre sarna
Tum rchak kahu ko daarna
Aapan tej samharo aape
Teno lok hakte kape
Bhut pesach nikat nahi aaveh
Mahavir jab naam sunaveh
Nase rog hare sab peera
Japat nirantar hanumat bal bira
Sankat se hanuman chudave
Maan kam bachan dayan jo lavey
Sab per ram tapasvi raja
Tin ke kaaj sakal tum saja
Aur manorat jo kayi lave
Tasuye amit jeevan phal pavey
Charo guj pratap tumarah
Hai prasidh jagat ujeyara
Sadhu sant ke tum rakhvare
Asur nikandan ram dulare
Ashat sidhi navnidhi ke data
As var deen jaanki mata
Ram rasayan tumhre pasa
Sada raho raghupati ke dasa
Tumreh bhajan ram ko bhavey
Janam janam ke dukh bisravey
Ant kaal raghubar pur jaie
Jaha janam hari bhagat kahaei
Aur devta chitna dhareyo
Hanumat seye sarav sukh karaei
Sankat kate mite sab pera
Jo sumere hanumat balbira
Jai jai jai hanuman gusai
Kripa karo guru dev ke naai
Jo sat bar pat kar koi
Chutehi bandhi maha sukh hoai
Jo yahe pade hanuman chalisa
Hoye sidhi sa ke goresa
Tulsidas sada hari chera
Kijeye nath hridaye maha dera

Pavantnaye sankat haran, Mangal murti roop
Ram lakhan sita sahet, Hridaye basau sur bhup
