कपिनाथ रघुनाथ भोलानाथ भूतनाथ रोग सिंधु क्यों न डारियत गाय खुर कै

Kapinātha raghunātha bholānātha bhūtanātha roga siṃdhu kyoṃ na ḍāriyata gāya khura kai

Lord of monkeys, Raghunatha, Bholanatha, lord of spirits: why not throw this ocean of disease away with a cow's hoof?

कहों हनुमान सों सुजान राम राय सों कृपानिधान संकर सों सावधान सुनिये

Kahoṃ hanumāna soṃ sujāna rāma rāya soṃ kṛpānidhāna saṃkara soṃ sāvadhāna suniye

I say it to Hanuman, to the discerning King Rama, to Shankara the store of compassion: listen with care.

हरष विषाद राग रोष गुन दोष मई बिरची बिरञ्ची सब देखियत दुनिये

Haraṣa viṣāda rāga roṣa guna doṣa maī biracī birañcī saba dekhiyata duniye

Joy and sorrow, passion and anger, virtue and fault: the whole world is seen to be made of these, and Brahma fashioned it so.

माया जीव काल के करम के सुभाय के करैया राम बेद कहें साँची मन गुनिये

Māyā jīva kāla ke karama ke subhāya ke karaiyā rāma beda kaheṃ sā~cī mana guniye

Maya, the living being, Time, karma and their natures: Rama is the maker of them all, so the Vedas say, and the mind should hold it true.

तुम्ह तें कहा न होय हा हा सो बुझैये मोहिं हौं हूँ रहों मौनही वयो सो जानि लुनिये

Tumha teṃ kahā na hoya hā hā so bujhaiye mohiṃ hauṃ hū~ rahoṃ maunahī vayo so jāni luniye

What is there that You cannot do? Alas, make me understand that; and I too will stay silent, knowing that whatever is sown is reaped.

इति श्रीमद्गोस्वामितुलसीदासकृत हनुमानबाहुक॥

Iti śrīmad-gosvāmī-tulasīdāsa-kṛta hanumāna-bāhuka

Thus the Hanuman Bahuk composed by the revered Goswami Tulsidas.
