ऐसी तोहि न बूझिये हनुमान हठीले। साहेब कहूँ न रामसे, तोसे न उसीले॥ १॥ तेरे देखत सिंहके सिसु मेंढक लीले। जानत हौं कलि तेरेऊ मन गुनगन कीले॥ २॥ हाँक सुनत दसकंधके भये बंधन ढीले। सो बल गयो किधौं भये अब गरबगहीले॥ ३॥ सेवकको परदा फटे तू समरथ सीले। अधिक आपुते आपुनो सुनि मान सही ले॥ ४॥ साँसति तुलसीदासकी सुनि सुजस तुही ले। तिहूँकाल तिनको भलौ जे राम-रँगीले॥ ५॥
I did not understand you to be like this, resolute Hanuman. Nowhere is there a master like Rama, nor a helper like you. (1) Before your eyes a frog devours a lion's cub. I know now that Kali has nailed fast even the multitude of virtues in your mind. (2) At the sound of your roar, the ten-headed one's bonds went slack. Where has that strength gone—or have you now become seized by pride? (3) Your servant's covering tears; you are able to stitch it. Hearing that one of your own is dearer than yourself, accept the honor at stake. (4) Hear Tulsidas's torment and take the fair fame for yourself. Those dyed in Rama's color fare well through all three times. (5)
