The morning rays dances across the shimmering seas,
Reaches land and laps up the sweet dew served by the dawn.
Dancing across the fields, it hears my persistent pleas,
And within me despite my duress, new hope begins to spawn.
And as the warm rays my fears and neurosis begin to still,
I arise from my sympathy and God's day doth meet
What was at night a mountain now turns to a hill.
My fears I hide and my family with love do greet.
And as my morning praise, "The Hanuman Chalisa" I chant,
The night's vision forgotten, I now see with new eyes,
For hasn't He graciously me another day did grant?
And as the dew evaporates, my nagging doubts dies.
For today I shall sing with nature with all her glory,
It is a rejection of His gift for my life to be sorry.
Reaches land and laps up the sweet dew served by the dawn.
Dancing across the fields, it hears my persistent pleas,
And within me despite my duress, new hope begins to spawn.
And as the warm rays my fears and neurosis begin to still,
I arise from my sympathy and God's day doth meet
What was at night a mountain now turns to a hill.
My fears I hide and my family with love do greet.
And as my morning praise, "The Hanuman Chalisa" I chant,
The night's vision forgotten, I now see with new eyes,
For hasn't He graciously me another day did grant?
And as the dew evaporates, my nagging doubts dies.
For today I shall sing with nature with all her glory,
It is a rejection of His gift for my life to be sorry.

Lord Hanuman is a bachelor deity and millions recite the Chalisa to seek blessings of Lord Hanuman. Hanuman Chalisa gained enormous popularity among the modern-day Hindus. Many of them recite it as a prayer every day (or every week, generally on Tuesdays or Saturdays).It is believed that the person who chants the Hanuman Chalisa 100 times will become free from the cycle of birth and death and enjoys the highest bliss, as stated in verse 38. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)"
