Below are the English lyrics to help devotees to read the full hanuman ashtak in english.
Baal samay ravi bhakshi liyo,
tab teenhu lok bhayo andhiyaaro.
Taahi so traas bhayo jag ko,
yah sankat kaahu so jaat na taaro.
As a child, you swallowed the sun, plunging the three worlds into darkness. This caused great fear in the universe, and no one could alleviate this crisis.
Devan aani kari binatee tab,
chhaandi diyo ravi kashta nivaaro.
Ko nahin jaanat hai jag mein kapi,
sankatmochan naam tihaaro.
The gods pleaded with you, and you released the sun, removing their distress. Who in this world does not know you as the “Remover of Sorrows”?
Baali ki traas kapees basain giri,
jaat mahaprabhu panth nihaaro.
Chaunki mahamuni saap diyo tab,
chaahiye kaun bidhi bigat sidhaaro.
Fearing Vali, the monkeys hid in the mountains, and you watched for Lord Rama’s arrival. Startled, the sage cursed you, but you found a way to overcome it.
Kaivikh Siy soch vimalan samay,
tab naath mahun mudrika sodhaaro.
Yah sankat bhaari pado tum paro,
ya vidhi hoovai sukh sampati nivaaro.
When Sita was lost in sorrow, you brought her Rama’s ring as a token. This great sorrow fell upon you, but you turned it into joy and prosperity.
Ravan traas dai Siy ko sab,
raakshasi soch vibhishan nivaaro.
Taahi samay Hanuman mahaprabhu,
jaay maha rajanichar maaro.
Ravana caused fear in Sita, but you consoled Vibhishana and removed her distress. At that time, O Hanuman, you went and destroyed the demons of the night.
Laay sanjivan Lakhan jiyaaye,
Shri Raghubeer harashi ur laaro.
Yah sankat jo katai tum binu,
aur ko samajh na aavai kaaro.
You brought the Sanjeevani herb and revived Lakshmana, filling Lord Rama’s heart with joy. No one else can remove such sorrows as you can.
Sankat te Hanuman chhudavai,
man kram vachan dhyan jo laavai.
Taaso yash Raghupati gaavain,
sada Hari chera kahaavai.
Hanuman frees us from sorrows when we meditate on him with mind, action, and words. Lord Rama himself sings your praises, and you are forever known as his servant.
Sab sukh lahai tumhari sarna,
tum rakshak kaahu ko dar na.
Aapan tej samhaaro aapai,
teeno lok haank te kaapai.
All happiness is found in your refuge, and with you as protector, there is no fear. Your radiance is unmatched, and the three worlds tremble at your roar.
