The Shri Vishnu Chalisa in English offers a beautiful description of Lord Vishnu’s roles as the Preserver, the Protector of His devotees, and the Guardian of the world. This Chalisa describes the divine leelas (divine pastimes) of Lord Vishnu’s various incarnations, such as Ram, Matsya (the Fish), Kurma (the Tortoise), Varaha (the Boar), and Mohini, as well as the destruction of the demons. It also offers a heartfelt eulogy to Lord Vishnu’s compassion, the protection of His devotees, and the grace that carries them across the worldly ocean of existence. Devoutly reciting the Shri Vishnu Chalisa dispels sin, sorrow, and fear, and bestows upon one, by the grace of Lord Vishnu, happiness, peace, prosperity, and devotion.
Shri Vishnu Chalisa in English Lyrics
Doha
Vishnu Suniye Vinay Sevak Ki Chitalay,
Keerat Kuchh Varnan Karun Deejai Gyan Batay.
Chaupai
Namo Vishnu Bhagwan Kharari, Kasht Nashavan Akhil Bihari.
Prabal Jagat Mein Shakti Tumhari, Tribhuvan Phail Rahi Ujiyari.
Sundar Roop Manohar Soorat, Saral Swabhav Mohani Moorat.
Tan Par Pitambar Ati Sohat, Vaijanti Mala Man Mohat.
Shankh Chakra Kar Gada Biraje, Dekhat Daitya Asur Dal Bhaje.
Satya Dharm Mad Lobh Na Gaje, Kaam Krodh Mad Lobh Na Chhaje.
Santbhakt Sajjan Manranjan, Danuj Asur Dushtan Dal Ganjan.
Sukh Upjay Kasht Sab Bhanjan, Dosh Mitay Karat Jan Sajjan.
Paap Kaat Bhav Sindhu Utaran, Kasht Nashkar Bhakt Ubaran.
Karat Anek Roop Prabhu Dharan, Keval Aap Bhakti Ke Karan.
Dharani Dhenu Ban Tumhin Pukara, Tab Tum Roop Ram Ka Dhara.
Bhar Utar Asur Dal Mara, Ravan Aadik Ko Sanhara.
Aap Varah Roop Banaya, Haranyaksh Ko Maar Giraya.
Dhar Matsya Tan Sindhu Banaya, Chaudah Ratnan Ko Nikalaya.
Amilakh Asuran Dvand Machaya, Roop Mohini Aap Dikhaya.
Devan Ko Amrit Paan Karaya, Asuran Ko Chhavi Se Bahlaya.
Kurm Roop Dhar Sindhu Majhaya, Mandrachal Giri Turat Uthaya.
Shankar Ka Tum Phand Chhudaya, Bhasmasur Ko Roop Dikhaya.
Vedan Ko Jab Asur Dubaya, Kar Prabandh Unhen Dhundhvaya.
Mohit Bankar Khalahi Nachaya, Usahi Kar Se Bhasm Karaya.
Asur Jalandhar Ati Baldai, Shankar Se Un Keenh Ladai.
Haar Paar Shiv Sakal Banai, Keen Sati Se Chhal Khal Jai.
Sumiran Keen Tumhen Shivrani, Batlai Sab Vipat Kahani.
Tab Tum Bane Munishwar Gyani, Vrinda Ki Sab Surati Bhulani.
Dekhat Teen Danuj Shaitani, Vrinda Aay Tumhen Laptani.
Ho Sparsh Dharm Kshati Mani, Hana Asur Ur Shiv Shaitani.
Tumne Dhruv Prahlad Ubare, Hiranyakush Aadik Khal Mare.
Ganika Aur Ajamil Tare, Bahut Bhakt Bhav Sindhu Utare.
Harahu Sakal Santap Hamare, Kripa Karahu Hari Sirjan Hare.
Dekhun Main Nij Darash Tumhare, Deen Bandhu Bhaktan Hitkare.
Chahat Aapka Sevak Darshan, Karahu Daya Apni Madhusudan.
Jaanun Nahin Yogya Jab Poojan, Hoy Yagya Stuti Anumodan.
Sheeldaya Santosh Sulakshan, Vidit Nahin Vratbodh Vilakshan.
Karahun Aapka Kis Vidhi Poojan, Kumati Vilok Hot Dukh Bhishan.
Karahun Pranam Kaun Vidhisumiran, Kaun Bhaanti Main Karahun Samarpan.
Sur Muni Karat Sada Sevakai Harshit Rahat Param Gati Pai.
Deen Dukhin Par Sada Sahai, Nij Jan Jaan Lev Apnai.
Paap Dosh Santap Nashao, Bhav Bandhan Se Mukt Karao.
Sut Sampati De Sukh Upjao, Nij Charanan Ka Das Banao.
Nigam Sada Ye Vinay Sunavai, Padhai Sunai So Jan Sukh Pavai.
Doha
Bhakt Hriday Mein Vaas Karen Poorn Kijiye Kaaj,
Shankh Chakra Aur Gada Padm He Vishnu Maharaj.
