तेहि के कारज सकल शुभ, सिद्ध करै हनुमान॥

Chaupais (Main Verses)

जय हनुमन्त सन्त हितकारी। सुनि लीजै प्रभु अरज हमारी॥
जन के काज विलम्ब न कीजै। आतुर दौरि महा सुख दीजै॥जैसे कूदि सिन्धु महि पारा। सुरसा बदन पैठि बिस्तारा॥
आगे जाय लंकिनी रोका। मारेहु लात गई सुर लोका॥जाय विभीषण को सुख दीन्हा। सीता निरखि परम पद लीन्हा॥
बाग उजारि सिन्धु महं बोरा। अति आतुर यम कातर तोरा॥अक्षय कुमार मारि संहारा। लूम लपेटि लंक को जारा॥
लाह समान लंक जरि गई। जय जय धुनि सुर पुर महं भई॥अब विलम्ब केहि कारण स्वामी। कृपा करहु उर अन्तर्यामी॥
जय जय लक्ष्मण प्राण के दाता। आतुर होइ दु:ख करहु निपाता॥जय गिरिधर जय जय सुख सागर। सुर समूह समरथ भटनागर॥ॐ हनु हनु हनु हनु हनुमन्त हठीले। बैरिहिं मारू बज्र की कीले॥
गदा बज्र लै बैरिहिं मारो। महाराज प्रभु दास उबारो॥ॐकार हुंकार महाप्रभु धावो। बज्र गदा हनु विलम्ब न लावो॥
ॐ ह्रीं ह्रीं ह्रीं हनुमन्त कपीसा। ॐ हुं हुं हुं हनु अरि उर शीशा॥सत्य होउ हरि शपथ पायके। रामदूत धरु मारु धाय के॥
जय जय जय हनुमन्त अगाधा। दु:ख पावत जन केहि अपराधा॥पूजा जप तप नेम अचारा। नहिं जानत कछु दास तुम्हारा॥
वन उपवन मग गिरि गृह माहीं। तुमरे बल हम डरपत नाहीं॥पाय परौं कर जोरि मनावों। यह अवसर अब केहि गोहरावों॥
जय अंजनि कुमार बलवन्ता। शंकर सुवन धीर हनुमन्ता॥बदन कराल काल कुल घालक। राम सहाय सदा प्रतिपालक॥
भूत प्रेत पिशाच निशाचर। अग्नि बैताल काल मारीमर॥इन्हें मारु तोहि शपथ राम की। राखु नाथ मरजाद नाम की॥
जनकसुता हरि दास कहावो। ताकी शपथ विलम्ब न लावो॥जय जय जय धुनि होत अकाशा। सुमिरत होत दुसह दु:ख नाशा॥
चरण शरण करि जोरि मनावों। यहि अवसर अब केहि गोहरावों॥उठु उठु चलु तोहिं राम दुहाई। पांय परौं कर जोरि मनाई॥
ॐ चं चं चं चं चपल चलन्ता। ॐ हनु हनु हनु हनु हनुमन्ता॥ॐ हं हं हांक देत कपि चञ्चल। ॐ सं सं सहम पराने खल दल॥
अपने जन को तुरत उबारो। सुमिरत होय आनन्द हमारो॥यहि बजरंग बाण जेहि मारो। ताहि कहो फिर कौन उबारो॥
पाठ करै बजरंग बाण की। हनुमत रक्षा करै प्राण की॥यह बजरंग बाण जो जापै। तेहि ते भूत प्रेत सब कांपे॥
धूप देय अरु जपै हमेशा। ताके तन नहिं रहे कलेशा॥

Closing Doha

प्रेम प्रतीतिहिं कपि भजै, सदा धरै उर ध्यान।
तेहि के कारज सकल शुभ, सिद्ध करै हनुमान॥

Origin of Bajrang Baan lyrics

It is also important to understand the origin of Bajrang Baan lyrics. Most experts believe that Bajrang Baan stotra was written by Goswami Tulsidas (also known as Tulsidas). Tulsidas was a leading 16th-17th century poet-saint, who has also written the Ramcharitmanas (his Awadhi retelling of the Ramayana) and the Hanuman Chalisa.

Tulsidas lived between approximately 1511–1623 CE. It is generally accepted that Bajrang Baan was written as an independent composition and is not a part of the Ramcharitmanas. Bajrang Baan was likely written in the 16th century in the Awadhi dialect (similar to the Chalisa). It exists as a standalone devotional text and is not integrated with any major scriptures. Due to oral transmission, variations may exist in the numerous printed versions.

Significance of Bajrang Baan lyrics

In the literal sense, Bajrang Baan means the arrow of Bajrang. It essentially symbolizes the great strength of Lord Hanuman and his fierce protection for his devotees. Many consider the Bajrang Baan as being more powerful than the Hanuman Chalisa. Bajrang Baan is believed to help devotees with things like removing major obstacles, eliminating negative energies and protecting them from black magic, evil spirits and enemies.

With sincere rendition of Bajrang Baan, devotees seek courage, strength, peace and divine intervention. Bajrang Baan is invoked during times of crisis, but can be a regular practice too. It can be chanted on Tuesdays, Saturdays, or during Amavasya (new moon) for enhanced effects.
