Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ashtak

बाल समय रवि भक्षी लियो तब, तीनहुं लोक भयो अंधियारों। ताहि सों त्रास भयो जग को, यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो। देवन आनि करी बिनती तब, छाँड़ि दियो रवि कष्ट निवारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Baala samaya ravi bhakshi liyo tab, teenahu loka bhayo andhiyaro. Taahi son traas bhayo jag ko, yah sankat kaahu son jaat na taaro. Devan aani kari binatee tab, chhaandi diyo ravi kasht nivaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

In your childhood, you swallowed the sun, plunging all the three worlds into darkness. The entire world was terrified, and no one could resolve this great crisis. When the gods approached you with prayers, you released the sun and removed their pain. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

बालि की त्रास कपीस बसै गिरि, जात महाप्रभु पंथ निहारो। चौंकि महामुनि साप दियो तब, चाहिए कौन बिचार बिचारो। कै द्विज रूप लिवाय महाप्रभु, सो तुम दास के सोक निवारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Baali ki traas kapees basai giri, jaat mahaaprabhu panth nihaaro. Chaunki mahaamuni saap diyo tab, chaahiye kaun bichaar bichaaro. Kai dwij roop livaay mahaaprabhu, so tum daas ke sok nivaaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

Sugriva lived on the mountain in constant fear of Bali, searching the path for a savior. He was anxious due to the sage's curse, not knowing what to do. You took the form of a Brahmin, brought the Lord (Rama) to him, and dispelled your servant's grief. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

अंगद के संग लेन गए सिय, खोज कपीस यह बैन उचारो। जीवत ना बचिहौ हम सो जु, बिना सुधि लाए इहाँ पगु धारो। हेरी थके तट सिन्धु सबै तब, लाए सिया-सुधि प्राण उबारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Angad ke sang len gae siy, khoj kapees yah bain uchaaro. Jeevat na bachihau ham so ju, bina sudhi laaye ihaan pagu dhaaro. Heri thake tat sindhu sabai tab, laaye siya-sudhi praan ubaaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

When you went with Angada to search for Sita, Sugriva declared: 'None of you will survive if you return here without any news.' After searching everywhere, the monkeys sat exhausted by the ocean's edge; you leaped across, brought news of Mother Sita, and saved their lives. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

रावण त्रास दई सिय को सब, राक्षसी सों कही सोक निवारो। ताहि समय हनुमान महाप्रभु, जाए महा रजनीचर मारो। चाहत सीय अशोक सों आगि सु, दाई प्रभु मुद्रिका सोक निवारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Raavan traas daee siy ko sab, raakshasee son kahee sok nivaaro. Taahi samay hanumaan mahaaprabhu, jaae maha rajaneechar maaro. Chaahat seey ashok son aagi su, daai prabhu mudrika sok nivaaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

When Ravana tormented Sita and ordered the demonesses to break her spirit, you arrived there, O Lord, and slew the mighty demons. When Sita, in her grief, begged the Ashoka tree for fire to end her life, you dropped the Lord's signet ring, dispelling her sorrow. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

बाण लाग्यो उर लक्षिमन के तब, प्राण तजे सुत रावण मारो। लै गृह बैद्य सुषेण समेत, तबै गिरि द्रोण सु बीर उपाड़ो। आनि सजीवन हाथ दिए तब, लक्षिमन के तुम प्राण उबारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Baan laagyo ur lachhiman ke tab, praan taje sut raavan maaro. Lai grih baidy sushen samet, tabai giri dron su beer upaaro. Aani sajeevan haath die tab, lachhiman ke tum praan ubaaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

When the weapon struck Lakshmana's chest, and Ravana's son (Meghnada) nearly took his life, you brought the physician Sushena along with his entire house, and tore away the Drona mountain.

रावण युद्ध अजान कियो तब, नाग की फाँस सबै सिर डारो। श्रीरघुनाथ समेत सबै दल, मोह भयो यह संकट भारो। आनि खगेस तबै हनुमान जु, बंधन काटि सुत्रास निवारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Raavan yudh ajaan kiyo tab, naag ki phaans sabai sir daaro. Shreeraghunaath samet sabai dal, moh bhayo yah sankat bhaaro. Aani khages tabai hanumaan ju, bandhan kaati sutraas nivaaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

When Ravana waged a deceptive war and bound the entire army with the serpent-noose (Nagapasha), Lord Rama and the whole army fell unconscious—a massive crisis. You quickly brought Garuda (the king of birds, devourer of serpents), who cut the bonds and ended their terror. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

बंधु समेत जबै अहिरावन, लै रघुनाथ पाताल सिधारो। देविहिं पूजि भली बिधि सों बलि, देऊ सबै मिलि मंत्र बिचारो। जाय सहाय भयो तब ही प्रभु, मारि अहिरावण सैन्य संहारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Bandhu samet jabai ahiraavan, lai raghunaath paataal sidhaaro. Devihin pooji bhali bidhi son bali, deu sabai mili mantra bichaaro. Jaay sahaay bhayo tab hi prabhu, maari ahiraavan sainya sanhaaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

When Ahiravana abducted Rama and his brother Lakshmana to the netherworld (Patala) to sacrifice them to the goddess, they plotted their rituals. You reached there as their savior, killed Ahiravana, and annihilated his army. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

काज किए बड़ देवन के तुम, बीर महाप्रभु देखि बिचारो। कौन सो संकट मोर गरीब को, जो तुमसों नहिं जात है टारो। बेगी हरो हनुमान महाप्रभु, जो कछु संकट होय हमारो। को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि, संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो॥

Kaaj kie bad devan ke tum, beer mahaaprabhu dekhi bichaaro. Kaun so sankat mor gareeb ko, jo tumson nahin jaat hai taaro. Begi haro hanumaan mahaaprabhu, jo kachu sankat hoy hamaro. Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankatmochan naam tiharo.

O great warrior, you have accomplished such massive tasks for the gods themselves. Consider this: what crisis could a poor wretch like me face that you cannot remove? O Hanuman, swiftly take away whatever suffering I have. Who in this world does not know, O Monkey, that your name is the destroyer of all suffering?

लाल देह लाली लसे, अरु धरि लाल लंगूर। बज्र देह दानव दलन, जय जय जय कपि सूर॥

Laal deh laali lase, aru dhari laal langoor. Bajra deh daanav dalan, jai jai jai kapi soor.

With a red body, a shining red face, and a long red tail, you possess a thunderbolt-like body that crushes demons. Glory, glory, glory to you, O valiant Monkey!
