Devotional text
मेरे वीर हनुमान मेरे पवन कुमार
लंका में जइयो रे पवन बनके ।।
कौन तेरी मैया रे, कौन तेरो बाप
किनके नाम धराए हनुमान ।। मेरे वीर ।।
अंजनी तेरी मैया रे, पवन तेरो बाप
इन्द्र ने नाम धराए रे हनुमान ।। मेरे वीर ।।
पावन में बेडी माइया, गले में जंजीर
नाचत है मेरो हनुमत वीर ।। मेरे वीर ।।
नदी सतलज को निर्मल नीर
कूद पड़ो मेरो हनुमत वीर ।। मेरे वीर ।।
कौन दुपरिया माइया, तू ही मेरी माँ
गढ़ लंका के रार मचाए ।। मेरे वीर ।।
सुमर सुमर मैया तेरो जस गाये, चरणो में तेरे शीश नवाए
रख लईयो चरण आधार ।। मेरे वीर ।।
Reading guide
- “Veer” addresses Hanuman as brave; “Pawan Kumar” addresses him as the son of the wind.

- For a longer narrative about Hanuman’s journey, continue to Sundarkand. Hanuman Chalisa is a separate devotional composition, not another name for this bhajan.
