Kowna so sankata mora gariba, ko-jo tuuma so nahin jaata hai taaro
Baygi haro hanumana maha prabhu, so-kachu sankat hoya hamaaro
Ko nahi jaanata hai jaga may kapi sankat mochan naam tihaaro [8]

Due to fear of Bālī, Sugrīva lived on a mountain. He saw Lord rāma on His way. He could not leave the mountain due to curse of a saint. You found a solution to this (lit.

In this world, who does not knows that You are known as remover of obstacles, O Kapi! [2]

You went with Aṅgada (and others) to find Sītā and Aṅgada said, ‘We will not remain alive unless we return with the information about Sītā.’ They all got tired seeing the ocean at the coast.

Rāvaṇa ordered all the female demons to trouble Sītā. She asked (Trijaṭā) to remove Her troubles (by building a funeral pyre where She could jump). At that moment Hanumān, the great Lord, went and killed many demons there. He wanted Sītā to be relived and therefore, He gave the ring of Rāma to dispel anxiety of Sītā. In this world, who does not knows that You are known as remover of obstacles, O Kapi! [4]

When arrow of Meghanāda (son of Rāvaṇa) struck in the heart of Lakṣmaṇa, He was almost dead.

In this world, who does not knows that You are known as remover of obstacles, O Kapi! [5]

Rāvaṇa fought a war while remaining invisible and chained everyone in Nāgapāśa (lit. chain made of cobra). Along with Śrīrāma, everyone got deluded and thought it to be a great trouble. You brought Garuḍa (from Vaikuṇṭha), Who ripped apart the snakes. In this world, who does not knows that You are known as remover of obstacles, O Kapi! [6]

When Ahirāvaṇa with his brother kidnapped Rāma with His brother Lakṣmaṇa, he prayed to Goddess in various ways and well-prepared for human sacrifice of Rāma. Then You went as a helper to Rāma and killed Ahirāvaṇa along with his army. In this world, who does not knows that You are known as remover of obstacles, O Kapi! [7]

You have done deeds for great noble Ones. O brave and great Lord! Cast a glance on me and then decide what pain of the destitute me cannot be removed by you? (In other words, remove all my pains). O Hanumān, Who is the great lord! Absolve our any existing troubles quickly. In this world, who does not knows that You are known as remover of obstacles, O Kapi! [8]

Dohā:
Red-ness shines over Your red body, O Red Monkey! Your body is tough as diamond and You destroy demons. Be victorious, again and again, O the bravest among monkeys!
