The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse devotional hymn composed by the saint-poet Tulsidas in the 16th century. Written in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi, it praises Lord Hanuman — the monkey-god whose devotion to Lord Rama is the model of bhakti.
Chalisa means 'forty' (chalis = 40), referring to the forty chaupais or verses. The full recitation takes about 9 to 11 minutes and is considered one of the most powerful protective prayers in the Hindu tradition.
Devotees recite the Chalisa daily, often in multiples — 11 for general practice, 21 for serious challenges, 51 for major obstacles, and 108 for life-altering vows. Tuesdays and Saturdays are especially auspicious for Hanuman worship.

॥ दोहा ॥
श्री गुरु चरन सरोज रज, निज मन मुकुर सुधारि।
बरनउं रघुबर बिमल जसु, जो दायकु फल चारि॥
बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके, सुमिरौं पवन कुमार।
बल बुधि बिद्या देहु मोहिं, हरहु कलेस बिकार॥
॥ चौपाई ॥
जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर। जय कपीस तिहुं लोक उजागर॥
राम दूत अतुलित बल धामा। अंजनि-पुत्र पवनसुत नामा॥
महाबीर बिक्रम बजरंगी। कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी॥
कंचन बरन बिराज सुबेसा। कानन कुंडल कुंचित केसा॥
हाथ बज्र औ ध्वजा बिराजै। कांधे मूंज जनेऊ साजै॥
शंकर सुवन केसरीनंदन। तेज प्रताप महा जग बंदन॥
विद्यावान गुणी अति चातुर। राम काज करिबे को आतुर॥
प्रभु चरित्र सुनिबे को रसिया। राम लखन सीता मन बसिया॥
सूक्ष्म रूप धरि सियहिं दिखावा। बिकट रूप धरि लंक जरावा॥
भीम रूप धरि असुर संहारे। रामचंद्र के काज संवारे॥
लाय सजीवन लखन जियाये। श्रीरघुबीर हरषि उर लाये॥
रघुपति कीन्हीं बहुत बड़ाई। तुम मम प्रिय भरतहि सम भाई॥
सहस बदन तुम्हरो जस गावैं। अस कहि श्रीपति कंठ लगावैं॥
सनकादिक ब्रह्मादि मुनीसा। नारद सारद सहित अहीसा॥
जम कुबेर दिगपाल जहां ते। कबि कोबिद कहि सके कहां ते॥
तुम उपकार सुग्रीवहिं कीन्हा। राम मिलाय राजपद दीन्हा॥
तुम्हरो मंत्र विभीषन माना। लंकेश्वर भए सब जग जाना॥
जुग सहस्र जोजन पर भानू। लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू॥
प्रभु मुद्रिका मेलि मुख माहीं। जलधि लांघि गये अचरज नाहीं॥
दुर्गम काज जगत के जेते। सुगम अनुग्रह तुम्हरे तेते॥
राम दुआरे तुम रखवारे। होत न आज्ञा बिनु पैसारे॥
सब सुख लहै तुम्हारी सरना। तुम रक्षक काहू को डर ना॥
आपन तेज सम्हारो आपै। तीनों लोक हांक तें कांपै॥
भूत पिशाच निकट नहिं आवै। महाबीर जब नाम सुनावै॥
नासै रोग हरे सब पीरा। जपत निरंतर हनुमत बीरा॥
संकट तें हनुमान छुड़ावै। मन क्रम बचन ध्यान जो लावै॥
सब पर राम तपस्वी राजा। तिनके काज सकल तुम साजा॥
और मनोरथ जो कोई लावै। सोई अमित जीवन फल पावै॥
चारों जुग परताप तुम्हारा। है परसिद्ध जगत उजियारा॥
साधु संत के तुम रखवारे। असुर निकंदन राम दुलारे॥
अष्ट सिद्धि नौ निधि के दाता। अस बर दीन्ह जानकी माता॥
राम रसायन तुम्हरे पासा। सदा रहो रघुपति के दासा॥
तुम्हरे भजन राम को पावै। जनम जनम के दुख बिसरावै॥
अंत काल रघुबर पुर जाई। जहां जन्म हरि-भक्त कहाई॥
और देवता चित्त न धरई। हनुमत सेइ सर्व सुख करई॥
संकट कटै मिटै सब पीरा। जो सुमिरै हनुमत बलबीरा॥
जै जै जै हनुमान गोसाईं। कृपा करहु गुरुदेव की नाईं॥
जो शत बार पाठ कर कोई। छूटहि बंदि महा सुख होई॥
जो यह पढ़ै हनुमान चालीसा। होय सिद्धि साखी गौरीसा॥
तुलसीदास सदा हरि चेरा। कीजै नाथ हृदय महं डेरा॥

Jai Hanuman gyan gun sagar. Jai Kapis tihu lok ujagar.

Nasai rog harai sab peera. Japat nirantar Hanumat beera.
Sankat te Hanuman chhudawai. Man kram bachan dhyan jo lavai.
Sab par Ram tapasvi raja. Tin ke kaj sakal tum saja.
Aur manorath jo koi lavai. Soi amit jeevan phal pavai.
Charon jug partap tumhara. Hai parsiddh jagat ujiyara.
Sadhu sant ke tum rakhware. Asur nikandan Ram dulare.
Asht siddhi nau nidhi ke data. As bar deenh Janaki mata.
Ram rasayan tumhare pasa. Sada raho Raghupati ke dasa.
Tumhare bhajan Ram ko pavai. Janam janam ke dukh bisravai.
Ant kal Raghubar pur jai. Jahan janma Hari bhakt kahai.
Aur devta chitt na dharai. Hanumat sei sarva sukh karai.
Sankat katai mitai sab peera. Jo sumirai Hanumat balbeera.
Jai Jai Jai Hanuman Gosain. Kripa karahu Gurudev ki nain.
Jo shat baar path kar koi. Chhutahi bandi maha sukh hoi.
Jo yah padhe Hanuman Chalisa. Hoy siddhi sakhi Gaurisa.
Tulsidas sada Hari chera. Keejai Nath hriday mahn dera.
॥ Doha ॥
Pavan tanay sankat haran, mangal moorti roop.
Ram Lakhan Sita sahit, hriday basahu Sur Bhoop.
Opening verse (doha):
With the dust of my Guru's lotus feet, I cleanse the mirror of my mind
and sing the pure glory of the best of the Raghu line, which grants the four fruits (dharma, artha, kama, moksha).
Knowing this body to be lacking in intelligence, I remember the Son of the Wind.
Grant me strength, wisdom and knowledge; remove all afflictions and impurities.
Main verses (chaupais):
Victory to Hanuman, ocean of wisdom and virtue. Victory to the Lord of monkeys who illuminates the three worlds.
Messenger of Ram, abode of incomparable strength, son of Anjana, called Son of the Wind.
Great hero, mighty as the thunderbolt, dispeller of evil thoughts, companion of pure wisdom.
Body of golden colour, beautifully adorned with earrings and curly hair.
Thunderbolt and flag in hands, sacred thread on the shoulder.
Son of Shankar (Shiva), delight of Kesari, your brilliance and majesty are worshipped by the world.
Wise, virtuous and exceedingly clever, ever eager to serve Lord Ram.
You delight in hearing the Lord's deeds; Ram, Lakshman and Sita dwell in your heart.
You took a tiny form to appear before Sita; a fearsome form to burn Lanka.
Taking a colossal form you destroyed the demons and accomplished Lord Ram's tasks.
You brought the Sanjivani herb and revived Lakshman; the Lord Ram embraced you with joy.
Raghupati praised you greatly, saying: you are as dear to me as my brother Bharat.
A thousand mouths sing your glory, so saying Lord Vishnu embraced you.
Sanaka and other sages, Brahma and the great rishis, Narad, Saraswati and Shesh sing your praise.
Yama, Kuber, the guardians of the directions, poets and learned ones, none can fully describe your glory.
You did a great favour to Sugriva, uniting him with Ram and restoring his kingdom.
Vibhishan accepted your counsel and became king of Lanka, as the whole world knows.
You leapt to the sun, sixteen thousand yojanas distant, thinking it a sweet fruit.
Carrying the Lord's ring in your mouth, you crossed the ocean - no surprise.
Every difficult task in the world becomes easy by your grace.
You are the guardian at Ram's gate; none can enter without your permission.
All happiness is found in your refuge; you are the protector - there is no fear.
You alone can hold your own splendour; at your roar the three worlds tremble.
Ghosts and evil spirits cannot come near where the name of the Great Hero is heard.
Diseases are destroyed and all pains removed by continuous chanting of brave Hanuman's name.
Hanuman frees from all troubles those who meditate on him with mind, action and word.
Ram is the ascetic king above all; you accomplish all his work.
Whoever brings any desire to you receives abundant fruit in this very life.
Your majesty is famous through all four ages; it illuminates the entire world.
Protector of saints and sages, destroyer of demons, beloved of Ram.
Giver of the eight siddhis and nine nidhis, this boon Mother Janaki granted you.
You possess the elixir of Ram's name; ever remain the servant of Raghupati.
By chanting your name one attains Lord Ram and forgets the sorrows of countless births.
At the end of life one goes to Lord Ram's abode and is known forever as a devotee of Hari.
Pay no attention to other deities; serving Hanuman alone brings all happiness.
All troubles are cut and pains removed for one who remembers brave Hanuman.
Victory, victory, victory to Lord Hanuman! Show me mercy as a Guru would.
Whoever recites this a hundred times will be released from bondage and attain great happiness.
Whoever reads this Hanuman Chalisa will gain success, with Lord Shiva as witness.
Tulsidas, ever the servant of Hari, prays: Lord, make your home in my heart.
Closing verse (doha):
Son of the Wind, dispeller of troubles, form of all auspiciousness,
with Ram, Lakshman and Sita - dwell in my heart, King of the Gods.
From Hindi 'chalis' (40). Refers to the 40 four-line verses (chaupais) that make up the hymn.
Son of the wind god Vayu. The embodiment of strength, devotion, and selfless service to Lord Rama.
Another name for Hanuman. 'Bajrang' means thunderbolt-strong, 'bali' means mighty.
Tuesdays and Saturdays are the most auspicious days for Hanuman. Early morning (4 to 6 AM) and evening (6 to 8 PM) are the strongest hours. The Chalisa can also be recited before sleep — many devotees say it protects them through the night.
For daily practice, once or 11 times. For specific challenges, 21 or 51 rounds. For life-changing vows or major obstacles, 108 rounds — often spread over multiple days.
Yes, especially as a beginner. Many devotees memorise it over time but reading is completely acceptable.
Take a breath, restart the chaupai you were on, and continue. Don't restart the entire Chalisa unless you wish to.
No. Women, men, and children all recite it. There are no gender restrictions.
Traditions vary. Many modern teachers say mental recitation is fine; some traditional families prefer to abstain. Follow what your conscience and family practice guide.
