Bhaju pavan tanay bal dhaam

Hanuman praise

Lyrics

Tek

Bhaju pavan tanay bal dhaam

I praise the mighty son of Pavan (Hanuman)

Gyaan gun raasi

Abode of strength and knowledge

Pad

Ati shay prabal prataap javan

Young, powerful, valorous — you light your own abode

Sab thaurahi sabha prakaashi

Gods, humans and sages praise you

Sur nar muni dhanikarat bimal yash

He who serves Raghunath

Us ko Raghunaath upaasi

Abundance of knowledge

Gyaan gun raasi

Your fame spans heaven to the underworld

Naak pataal jagat jas jaahir

Yet you sit near Raghunayak in Ayodhya

Par saakit nivaasi

All servants of the Lord know this

Raghunaayak ki nikat biraajat

Abundance of knowledge

Jaanat prabhu keri khavaasi

Gyaan gun araasi

Jeweled crown, pearl necklace, tilak on the brow

Body shining like a mountain of gold

Krt mukut mani maal bhaal bicha

Taking your name, people forget sorrow

Tilak rekh tum naasi

Abundance of knowledge

Subaran shail barantan raajita

Lakhi tum naam udaasi

You benefit all and cut Yama’s noose

Gyaan gun araasi

The learned bow at your feet

Give joy to all — ignorant or learned

Tum upkaar karat sab hi kar

Abundance of knowledge

Kaati jam ke phaasi

Drij chholakan pare charan manaavat

Dije ura sumati hulaasi

Gyaan gun raasi
