Durgam kaj jagat ke jete
Sugam anugraha tumhre tete
Ram duwaare tum rakhvare
Hot na agya binu paisare

Tum rakshak kahu ko darna
Aapan tej samharo aapai
Teenon lok hank te kanpai
Bhoot pisaach Nikat nahin aavai
Mahavir jab naam sunavai
Nase rog harae sab peera
Japat nirantar Hanumat beera
Sankat se Hanuman chhudavai
Man Kram Vachan dhyan jo lavai
Sab par Ram tapasvee raja
Tin ke kaj sakal Tum saja
Aur manorath jo koi lavai

Sadhu Sant ke tum Rakhware
Asur nikandan Ram dulare
Ashta siddhi nav nidhi ke data
As var deen Janki mata

Sada raho Raghupati ke dasa
Tumhare bhajan Ram ko pavai
Janam janam ke dukh bisraavai

Keejai Nath Hriday mahn dera

Pavan Tanay Sankat Harana Mangala Murati Roop
Ram Lakhan Sita Sahita Hriday Basahu Soor Bhoop
