Chaupai

Jai Hanumant Sant Hitkaari।Suni Leejai Prabhu Araj Hamaari॥ 1

Victory to Hanuman, benefactor of saints. Lord, please listen to our plea.

Jan Ke Kaaj Vilamb Na Keejai।Aatur Dauri Mahaa Sukh Deejai॥ 2

Do not delay your devotee's work; come running and grant great happiness.

Jaise Koodi Sindhu Mahi Paaraa।Surasaa Badan Paithi Vistaaraa॥ 3

As you leapt across the ocean, and entered the widened mouth of Sursa.

Aage Jaay Lankinee Rokaa।Maarehu Laat Gaee Sur Lokaa॥ 4

Going onward, Lankini barred your way; a single kick sent her to the realm of the gods.

Jaay Vibheeshan Ko Sukh Deenhaa।Seetaa Nirakhi Param Pad Leenhaa॥ 5

You went on to give Vibhishan comfort, and beholding Sita you attained the highest state.

Baag Ujaari Sindhu Mahan Boraa।Ati Aatur Yam Kaatar Toraa॥ 6

You laid waste the grove and plunged it into the sea; in fierce haste you broke even the terror of death.

Akshay Kumaar Ko Maari Sanhaaraa।Loom Lapeti Lank Ko Jaaraa॥ 7

You struck down and destroyed Akshaya Kumar, and wrapping your tail about it you set Lanka ablaze.

Laah Samaan Lank Jari Gaee।Jai Jai Dhuni Sur Pur Men Bhaee॥ 8

Lanka burned like lac; cries of victory rang out through the city of the gods.

Ab Vilamb Kehi Kaaran Swaamee।Kripaa Karahu Prabhu Antaryaamee॥ 9

Why the delay now, my lord? Be gracious, O knower of every heart.

Jai Jai Lakshman Praan Ke Daataa।Aatur Hoi Dukh Karahu Nipaataa॥ 10

Victory to you who gave Lakshman back his life; come quickly and destroy our sorrow.

Jai Giridhar Jai Jai Sukh Saagar।Sur Samooh Samarath Bhat Naagar॥ 11

Victory, mountain-bearer; victory, ocean of joy; mightiest and most skilful warrior among all the hosts of the gods.

Om Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanumant Hatheele।Bairihin Maaru Bajra Sam Keelai॥ 12

Om Hanu Hanu Hanu, resolute Hanuman — strike the enemy and pin them down as with a thunderbolt.

Gadaa Bajra Lai Bairihin Maarau।Mahaaraaj Nij Daas Ubaarau॥ 13

Take up mace and thunderbolt and strike the foe; great king, deliver your own servant.

Suni Hankaar Hunkaar Dai Dhaavo।Bajra Gadaa Hanu Vilamb Na Laavo॥ 14

Hearing our call, roar out and rush forth; strike with mace and thunderbolt, and do not delay.

Om Hreem Hreem Hreem Hanumant Kapeesaa।Om Hun Hun Hun Hanu Ari Ur Sheesaa॥ 15

Om Hreem Hreem Hreem, Hanuman lord of the monkeys; Om Hun Hun Hun — strike the enemy's heart and head.

Satya Hohu Hari Satya Paay Kai।Raam Doot Dharu Maaru Dhaai Kai॥ 16

Be true, having taken the Lord's own truth as your pledge; messenger of Ram, seize and strike, rushing forth.

Jai Hanumant Anant Agaadhaa।Dukh Paavat Jan Kehi Aparaadhaa॥ 17

Victory, endless and unfathomable Hanuman; for what offence must your devotee suffer?

Poojaa Jap Tap Nem Achaaraa।Nahin Jaanat Hai Daas Tumhaaraa॥ 18

Worship, chanting, austerity, vows and observance — your servant knows none of these.

Van Upavan Jal Thal Grih Maaheen।Tumhare Bal Ham Darapat Naaheen॥ 19

In forest or garden, in water, on land or at home — by your strength we are not afraid.

Paay Paraun Kar Jori Manaavaun।Apane Kaaj Laagi Gun Gaavaun॥ 20

I fall at your feet and entreat you with folded hands; for my own need I sing your praise.

Jai Anjanee Kumaar Balavantaa।Shankar Swayan Veer Hanumantaa॥ 21

Victory, mighty son of Anjani; Shiva himself in the form of the hero Hanuman.

Badan Karaal Danuj Kul Ghaalak।Bhoot Pishaach Pret Ur Shaalak॥ 22

Dread of face, destroyer of the demon race; a spear in the heart of ghost, goblin and spirit.

Bhoot Pret Pishaach Nishaachar।Agni Baitaal Veer Maaree Mar॥ 23

Ghosts, spirits, goblins and night-stalkers, fire-demons and vetalas — strike them dead, O hero.

Inhahin Maaru, Tohi Shapath Raam Kee।Raakhu Naath Maryaad Naam Kee॥ 24

Strike them down — I put you under Ram's own oath; lord, uphold the honour of your name.

Janak Sutaa Pati Daas Kahaao।Taakee Shapath Vilamb Na Laao॥ 25

You are called the servant of Janaki's lord; by that oath, do not delay.

Jai Jai Jai Dhwani Hot Akaashaa।Sumirat Hot Dusah Dukh Naashaa॥ 26

Cries of victory resound through the sky; remembering you, unbearable sorrow is destroyed.

Uthu Uthu Chal Tohi Raam Duhaaee।Paay Paraun Kar Jori Manaaee॥ 27

Rise, rise and come — I call on you in Ram's name; I fall at your feet with folded hands.

Om Chan Chan Chan Chan Chapal Chalantaa।Om Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanumantaa॥ 28

Om Cham Cham Cham Cham, swift and ever-moving; Om Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanu Hanumanta.

Om Han Han Haank Det Kapi Chanchal।Om San San Sahami Paraane Khal Dal॥ 29

Om Ham Ham — the restless monkey lord gives his roar; Om Sam Sam — and the wicked host flees in terror.

Apane Jan Ko Kas Na Ubaarau।Sumirat Hot Aanand Hamaarau॥ 30

Why would you not deliver your own devotee? Remembering you, joy rises within us.

Taate Vinatee Karaun Pukaaree।Harahu Sakal Dukh Vipati Hamaaree॥ 31

And so I cry out and make my plea: take away all our sorrow and calamity.

Aisau Bal Prabhaav Prabhu Toraa।Kas Na Harahu Dukh Sankat Moraa॥ 32

Such is your strength and power, lord; why then not remove my grief and trouble?

He Bajrang, Baan Sam Dhaavau।Meti Sakal Dukh Daras Dikhaavau॥ 33

O Bajrang, rush to me like an arrow; erase every sorrow and grant me the sight of you.

He Kapiraaj Kaaj Kab Aihau।Avasar Chooki Ant Pachhataihau॥ 34

O monkey king, when will you come to my aid? Miss the moment and only regret remains at the end.

Jan Kee Laaj Jaat Aihi Baaraa।Dhaavahu He Kapi Pavan Kumaaraa॥ 35

Your devotee's honour is slipping away at this very hour; hasten, O monkey lord, son of the wind.

Jayati Jayati Jai Jai Hanumaanaa।Jayati Jayati Gun Gyaan Nidhaanaa॥ 36

Glory, glory, victory to Hanuman; glory to the treasury of virtue and wisdom.

Brahma together with Sharada sing the monkey lord's virtues day and night in countless ways.

There is none as mighty as you in the world; I have weighed it every way and looked.

At its recitation the mighty hero Hanuman rushes forth, swift and strong as a speeding arrow.

Whoever recites the Bajrang Baan — Hanuman guards their very life.

Whoever worships the monkey lord with love and faith, holding him always in the heart — Hanuman brings their work to fulfilment at once.
Meaning & Benefits

The Bajrang Baan is an urgent appeal to Lord Hanuman. Where the Hanuman Chalisa praises his virtues, the Bajrang Baan calls on his power directly — which is why devotees turn to it in real difficulty. Its name means "Hanuman's arrow": a prayer that flies straight to its mark.

  • Protection from fear and negativity: the verses call on Hanuman to drive away every harmful influence.
  • Courage in hard times: recited when a problem feels larger than you can face alone.
  • Strength and steadiness: the seed mantras give the recitation its force and focus.

How to Chant
  • When: Tuesdays and Saturdays are considered especially auspicious, as is the early morning before sunrise.
  • Preparation: Bathe first and sit in clean clothes, facing east or north.
  • Lamp and incense: Light a ghee lamp and offer guggul incense — the text itself recommends it.
  • Count: Recite once, or eleven times for a specific need. A single heartfelt recitation is enough.
  • Finish: Bow to Hanuman at the end and offer thanks.

What is the difference between the Bajrang Baan and the Hanuman Chalisa?
The Hanuman Chalisa is a hymn of praise, suited to everyday worship.

Many devotees recite both, the Chalisa first and then the Bajrang Baan.

It can be recited on any day, but Tuesdays and Saturdays are considered especially auspicious, and the hours before sunrise most of all. In an urgent difficulty it may be recited at once, at any time.

The seed-mantra verses beginning "Om Hanu Hanu Hanu" are considered the heart of its power.
Is it true the Bajrang Baan should be recited carefully?
Tradition holds that the Bajrang Baan is a potent text and should be recited with faith, cleanliness and a settled mind, without abandoning it partway. It is a recommendation about attitude rather than a warning — recited with sincerity, it is held to bring protection and relief.
