Aarti of Hanuman Ji in Hindi

आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की ।  दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की ।।
जाके बल से गिरिवर कांपै ।  रोग-दोष जाके निकट न झांपै ।।
अंजनि पुत्र महा बलदाई ।  संतन के प्रभु सदा सहाई ।।
दे बीरा रघुनाथ पठाए ।  लंका जारि सिया सुधि लाये ।।
लंका सो कोट समुद्र सी खाई ।  जात पवनसुत बार न लाई ।।
लंका जारि असुर सब मारे ।  सियाराम जी के काज संवारे ।।
लक्ष्मण मूर्च्छित पड़े सकारे ।  लाय संजीवन प्राण उबारे ।।
पैठि पताल तोरि जमकारे ।  अहिरावण की भुजा उखारे ।।
बाईं भुजा असुर संहारे ।  दाईं भुजा संत जन तारे ।।
सुर नर मुनि आरती उतारें ।  जय जय जय हनुमान उचारें ।।
कंचन थार कपूर लौ छाई ।  आरति करत अंजना माई ।।
जो हनुमान जी की आरती गावे ।  बसि बैकुण्ठ परमपद पावे ।।
लंक विध्वंस किए रघुराई ।  तुलसिदास प्रभु कीरति गाई ।।
