4AM Hanuman Chalisa

I woke up one morning at 4AM singing this melody. I immediately recorded it on my phone and when I woke later, didn’t even remember doing it.

Added this mantra between the verses:
Om Namo Bhagavate Pawamānandanāya
Om I bow to the Divine Son of the Wind
Om Namo Bhagavate Anjaninandanāya
Om I bow to the Divine Son of Anjani

shrī guru charaṇ saroja raja nija mana mukura sudhāri
baraṇau raghubara bimala jasu jo dāyaka phala chāri
Having polished the mirror of my heart with the dust from my Guru’s lotus feet, I sing the pure fame of the best of Raghus, which bestows the four fruits of life.

buddhihīna tanu jānike sumiraũ pawana kumār
bala buddhi vidyā dehu mohĩ harahu kalesha bikār
I know I have no intelligence, I recall the Son of the Wind. Please give me strength, intelligence, and wisdom and remove my suffering and impurities.
