आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की।
दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की॥
जाके बल से गिरिवर काँपे।
रोग दोष जाके निकट न झाँके॥
अंजनि पुत्र महा बलदायी।
संतन के प्रभु सदा सहायी॥
दे बीड़ा रघुनाथ पठाये।
लंका जाय सिया सुधि लाये॥
लंका सो कोट समुद्र सी खाई।
जात पवनसुत बार न लाई॥
लंका जारि असुर संहारे।
सियारामजी के काज सँवारे॥
लक्ष्मण मूर्छित पड़े सकारे।
आनि सजीवन प्रान उबारे॥
पैठि पाताल तोरि जम कारे।
अहिरावन की भुजा उखारे॥
बायें भुजा असुरदल मारे।
दाहिने भुजा संतजन तारे॥
सुर नर मुनि आरती उतारें।
जय जय जय हनुमान उचारें॥
कंचन थार कपूर लौ छाई।
आरती करत अंजना माई॥
जो हनुमानजी की आरती गावे।
बसि बैकुंठ परम पद पावे॥
Arti kijai Hanuman Lala ki,
dusht dalan Raghunath kala ki.
Jake bal se girivar kanpe,
rog dosh jake nikat na jhanke.
Anjani putra maha baldayi,
santan ke prabhu sada sahayi.
De bida Raghunath pathaye,
Lanka jaya Siya sudhi laye.
Lanka so kot samudra si khai,
jat Pavansut bar na lai.
Lanka jari asur sanhare,
Siyaramji ke kaj sanvare.
Lakshman murchhit pade sakare,
ani sajivan pran ubare.
Paithi patal tori Jam kare,
Ahiravan ki bhuja ukhare.
Bayen bhuja asurdal mare,
dahine bhuja santjan tare.
Sur nar muni arti utaren,
jai jai jai Hanuman ucharen.
Kanchan thar kapur lau chhai,
arti karat Anjana mai.
Jo Hanumanji ki arti gave,
basi Baikunth param pad pave.
Meaning
Perform the aarti of dear Hanuman, destroyer of the wicked, a part of Raghunath’s own power.
Mountains tremble at his strength; disease and harm dare not come near him. Son of Anjani, giver of great strength, Lord of the saints, always their helper.
Raghunath gave him the betel leaf of command and sent him; he went to Lanka and brought news of Sita. Lanka was a fortress with the sea for a moat, yet the son of the Wind crossed it without delay.
He burned Lanka and destroyed the asuras, and completed the work of Sita and Rama. When Lakshmana lay unconscious, he brought the sanjivani at dawn and saved his life.
He went down into Patala, broke the bonds of death, and tore off Ahiravana’s arms. With his left arm he struck down the asura host; with his right he carried the saints across.
Devas, men and munis wave the aarti and cry, victory, victory, victory to Hanuman. A golden plate glows with the camphor flame, and Mother Anjana herself performs the aarti.
Whoever sings this aarti of Hanumanji dwells in Vaikuntha and reaches the highest state.
About this bhajan
Traditional; the author is not known. It is sung straight after the Hanuman Chalisa in temples and homes, so that the two go together as a single Tuesday or Saturday puja. The stanzas run through the same deeds as the Chalisa, with one more from the Ramayana tradition: Hanuman going down to Patala to free Rama and Lakshmana from Ahiravana. The closing image, Mother Anjana herself waving the camphor flame, is the touch families remember.
