ॐ जय हनुमत वीरा,स्वामी जय हनुमत वीरा।संकट मोचन स्वामी,तुम हो रणधीरा ॥

पवन-पुत्र-अंजनी-सुत,महिमा अति भारी।दुःख दरिद्र मिटाओ,संकट सब हारी ॥

बाल समय में तुमने,रवि को भक्ष लियो।देवन स्तुति कीन्ही,तब ही छोड़ दियो ॥

कपि सुग्रीव राम संग,मैत्री करवाई।बाली बली मराय,कपीसहिं गद्दी दिलवाई ॥

जारि लंक को ले सिय की,सुधि वानर हर्षाये।कारज कठिन सुधारे,रघुवर मन भाये ॥

शक्ति लगी लक्ष्मण के,भारी सोच भयो।लाय संजीवन बूटी,दुःख सब दूर कियो ॥

ले पाताल अहिरावण,जबहि पैठि गयो।ताहि मारि प्रभु लाये,जय जयकार भयो ॥

घाटे मेहंदीपुर में,शोभित दर्शन अति भारी।मंगल और शनिश्चर,मेला है जारी ॥

श्री बालाजी की आरती,जो कोई नर गावे।कहत इन्द्र हर्षित,मन वांछित फल पावे ॥

Meaning & context

What does Om Jai Hanumata Vira mean?

Most Hanuman aartis could be sung anywhere. This one names its own address: the ravine at Mehandipur in Rajasthan, and the Tuesday and Saturday melas held there, which still run. The verses before it are a compact life — the sun swallowed in childhood, the alliance with Sugriva, Lanka burnt, the sanjivani brought for Lakshmana, Ahiravana killed in the underworld — and then the aarti simply stops being general and points at a place.
