Khatu Shyam Ji Chalisa Hindi Lyrics

Reciting these verses regularly helps build spiritual strength and surrender. Read the full text below:

॥ दोहा ॥
श्री गुरु चरण ध्यान धर, सुमिरि सच्चिदानंद।
श्याम चालीसा कहत हूँ, मिटे सकल दुख-द्वन्द॥

॥ चौपाई ॥
जय-जय श्री बर्बरीक बलधामा। खाटू में है जिनका नामा॥
भीमसेन पौत्र कहलाए। वीर घटोत्कच के सुत आए॥
मौरवी मात गोद खेलाया। बाल्यकाल से वीर बनाया॥
शिव शंकर की तपस्या कीनी। तीन बाण वरदानी लीनी॥
महाभारत रण देखन आए। कृष्ण देव पहिचान न पाए॥
विप्र रूप धर कृष्ण डराए। एक बाण से वृक्ष दिखाए॥
पत्ता-पत्ता बींध गिराया। कृष्ण चरण पर शीश नवाया॥
दान मांग्या तब श्याम मुरारी। शीश दान की कीन तैयारी॥
हंसते हंसते शीश कटाया। दानवीर कहलाया काया॥
रणभूमि के ऊंचे टीले। धरयो शीश कृष्ण रंगीले॥
देखा युद्ध धीर मन लागी। जीत कृष्ण की घोषित जागी॥
वरदान दियो तब कृष्ण पियारा। नाम श्याम होगा जग सारा॥
हारे का तुम बनो सहारा। खाटू धाम बने घर थारा॥
जो ध्यावे सो फल पावेगा। संकट कभी न देखन पावेगा॥

॥ दोहा ॥
श्याम शरण में जो रहे, बिपत्ति कटे तत्काल।
दुख दरिद्र भागे सदा, कृपा करें गोपाल॥

When to Read Khatu Shyam Ji Chalisa

The Chalisa can be recited at any time of the day, but it is highly recommended during:

  • Ekadashi Days: Shukla Paksha Ekadashis are the most beloved days of Baba Shyam. Reading Chalisa on this day is believed to double the merit of fasting.
  • Morning Puja: Right after lighting the diya and completing the Mantra Japa, read the Chalisa to start the day with focus.
