Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ashtak in English Lyrics
Baal samai ravi bhakshi liyo tab, teenahu loka bhayo andhiyaro ।
Taahi so traas bhayo jag ko, yah sankat kaahu so jaat na taaro ।
Dewan aani kari bintee tab, chaadhi diyo ravi kasht niwaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tihaaro ॥1॥
Baali ki traas kapees basai giri, jaat mahaaprabhu panth nihaaro ।
Chownki mahaa muni saap diyo tab, chahiy kaun bichaar bichaaro ।
Kai dwij roop liwaay mahaa prabhu, so tum daas ke sok niwaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥2॥
Angad ke sang lain gaye siya, khoj kapees yah baain uchaaro ।
jeevat na bachihau hum son ju, bina sudhi laay ehaan pagu dhaaro ।
Hayri thake tatt sindhu sabaai tab, laay siya-sudhi praan ubaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥3॥
Raavan traas dayee siya ko sab, raakshashi so kahi sok nivaaro ।
Taahi samay hanuman mahaprabhu, Jaay mahaa rajneechar maaro ।
Chaahat seeya asoka so aagi su, dai prabhu mudrika soka nivaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥4॥
Baan lagyo ur lakshiman ke tab, praan taje sut raavan maaro ।
Lai griha baidya sushen samet, tabai giri dron su beer upaaro ।
Aani sajeewan hath dayee taba, lakshiman ke tum praan upaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥5॥
Raavan yudh ajaan kiyo tab, naag ki phaas sabhi sir daaro ।
Sri Raghunath samet sabai dal, moh bhayo yah sankat bhaaro ।
Aani khagesh tabai hanumaan ju, bandhan kaati sutraas nivaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥6॥
Bandhu samet jabai ahiraavan, lai raghunath pataal sidhaaro ।
Devhi puji bhalee vidhi so bali, deu sabai mili mantra vichaaro ।
Jaay sahaay bhayo tab hi, ahiraavan sainya samet sanhaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥7॥
Kaaj kiye barh dewan kei tum, beer mahaaprabhu dekhi bichaaro ।
Kaun so sankat mohin gareeb ko, jo tumso nahin jaat hai taaro ।
Begi haro hanumaan mahaprabhu, jo kuch sankat hoya hamaaro ।
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi, sankat mochan naam tiharo ॥8॥
॥ Doha ॥
Laal deh laalee lase,
aru dhari laal langoor ।
Bajra deh daanavdalan,
jai jai jai kapi soor ॥
