श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज, निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि। बरनउँ रघुबर बिमल जसु, जो दायकु फल चारि॥ बुद्धिहीन तनु जानिके, सुमिरौं पवन-कुमार। बल बुधि बिद्या देहु मोहिं, हरहु कलेस बिकार॥

Cleaning the mirror of my mind with the dust of my guru's lotus feet, I describe the pure glory of Shri Ram, which gives the four fruits of life. Knowing myself to be without wisdom, I remember Hanuman, son of the Wind: grant me strength, intelligence and knowledge, and take away my sorrows and impurities.
