Jaharveer Goga Chalisa – Lyrics, Meaning & Benefits
Jaharveer Goga Chalisa Lyrics (हिंदी में)
॥ दोहा ॥
सुवन केहरी जेवर सुत महाबली रनधीर।
बन्दौं सुत रानी बाछला विपत निवारण वीर॥
जय जय जय चौहान वन्स गूगा वीर अनूप।
अनंगपाल को जीतकर आप बने सुर भूप॥
॥ चौपाई ॥
जय जय जय जाहर रणधीरा, पर दुख भंजन बागड़ वीरा।
गुरु गोरख का है वरदानी, जाहरवीर जोधा लासानी॥
गौरवरण मुख महा विशाला, माथे मुकट घुंघराले बाला।
कांधे धनुष गले तुलसी माला, कमर कृपान रक्षा को डाला॥
जन्में गूगावीर जग जाना, ईसवी सन हजार दरमियाना।
श्री जाहरवीर चालीसा बल सागर, गुण निधि कुमारा, दुःखी जनों का बना सहारा॥
बागड़ पति बाछला नन्दन, जेवर सुत हरि भक्त निकन्दन।
जेवर राव का पुत्र कहाये, माता पिता के नाम बढ़ाये॥
पूरन हुई कामना सारी, जिसने विनती करी तुम्हारी।
सन्त उबारे असुर संहारे, भक्त जनों के काज संवारे॥
गूगावीर की अजब कहानी, जिसको ब्याही श्रीयल रानी।
बाछल रानी जेवर राना, महादुःखी थे बिन सन्ताना॥
भंगिन ने जब बोली मारी, जीवन हो गया उनको भारी।
सूखा बाग पड़ा नौलखा, देख देख जग का मन दुक्खा॥
कुछ दिन पीछे साधू आये, चेला चेली संग में लाये।
जेवर राव ने कुआं बनवाया, उद्घाटन जब करना चाहा॥
खारी नीर कुएं से निकला, राजा रानी का मन पिघला।
रानी तब ज्योतिषी बुलवाया, कौन पाप मैं पुत्र न पाया॥
कोई उपाय हमको बतलाओ, उन कहा गोरख गुरु मनाओ।
गुरु गोरख जो खुश हो जाई, सन्तान पाना मुश्किल नाई॥
बाछल रानी गोरख गुन गावे, नेम धर्म को न बिसरावे।
करे तपस्या दिन और राती, एक वक्त खाय रूखी चपाती॥
कार्तिक माघ में करे स्नाना, व्रत इकादशी नहीं भुलाना।
पूरनमासी व्रत नहीं छोड़े, दान पुण्य से मुख नहीं मोड़े॥
चेलों के संग गोरख आये, नौलखे में तम्बू तनवाये।
मीठा नीर कुएँ का कीना, सूखा बाग हरा कर दीना॥
मेवा फल सब साधु खाए, अपने गुरु के गुण को गाये।
औघड़ भिक्षा मांगने आए, बाछल रानी ने दुःख सुनाये॥
औघड़ जान लियो मन माहीं, तप बल से कुछ मुश्किल नाहीं।
रानी होवे मनसा पूरी, गुरु शरण है बहुत जरूरी॥
बारह बरस जपा गुरु नामा, तब गोरख ने मन में जाना।
पुत्र देने की हामी भर ली, पूरनमासी निश्चय कर ली॥
काछल कपटिने गजब गुजारा, धोखा गुरु संग किया करारा।
बाछल बनकर पुत्र पाया, बहन का दरद जरा नहीं आया॥
औघड़ गुरु को भेद बताया, तब बाछल ने गूगल पाया।
कर परसादी दिया गूगल दाना, अब तुम पुत्र जनो मरदाना॥
लीली घोड़ी और पण्डतानी, लूना दासी ने भी जानी।
रानी गूगल बाट के खाई, सब बांझों को मिली दवाई॥
नरसिंह पंडित लीला घोड़ा, भज्जु कुतवाल जना रणधीरा।
रूप विकट धर सब ही डरावे, जाहरवीर के मन को भावे॥
भादों कृष्ण जब नौमी आई, जेवर राव के बजी बधाई।
विवाह हुआ गूगा भये राना, संगलदीप में बने मेहमाना॥
रानी श्रीयल संग ले फेरे, जाहर राज बागड़ का करे।
अरजन सरजन जने, गूगा वीर से रहे वे तने॥
दिल्ली गए लड़ने के काजा, अनंग पाल चढे महाराजा।
उसने घेरी बागड़ सारी, जाहरवीर न हिम्मत हारी॥
अरजन सरजन जान से मारे, अनंगपाल ने शस्त्र डारे।
चरण पकड़कर पिण्ड छुड़ाया, सिंह भवन माड़ी बनवाया॥
उसी में गूगावीर समाये, गोरख टीला धूनी रमाये।
पुण्यवान सेवक वहाँ आये, तन मन धन से सेवा लाए॥
मनसा पूरी उनकी होई, गूगावीर को सुमरे जोई।
चालीस दिन पढ़े जाहर चालीसा, सारे कष्ट हरे जगदीसा॥
दूध पूत उन्हें दे विधाता, कृपा करे गुरु गोरखनाथा॥

|| Doha ||
Suvan keharī jevar sut mahābalī ranadhīra,
Bandauṃ sut rānī bāchalā vipat nivāraṇa vīra.
Jaya jaya jaya cauhān vans gūgā vīra anūpa,
Anaṃgapāl ko jītakar āp bane sur bhūpa.
|| Caupāī ||
Jaya jaya jaya jāhar raṇadhīrā, par dukh bhaṃjan bāgaṛ vīrā,
Guru gorakh kā hai varadānī, jāharvīr jodhā lāsānī.
Gauvaraṇ mukh mahā viśālā, māthe mukaṭ ghuṃgharāle bālā,
Kāṃdhe dhanuṣ gale tulasī mālā, kamar kṛpān rakṣā ko ḍālā.
Janme gūgāvīr jag jānā, īsvī san hazār daramiyānā,
Śrī jāharvīr cālīsā bal sāgar, guṇ nidhi kumārā, duḥkhī janoṃ kā banā sahārā.
Bāgaṛ pati bāchalā nandan, jevar sut hari bhakt nikandan,
Jevar rāv kā putra kahāye, mātā pitā ke nām baṛhāye.
Pūran huī kāmanā sārī, jisne vinatī karī tumhārī,
Sant ubāre asur saṃhāre, bhakta janoṃ ke kāj saṃvāre.
Gūgāvīr kī ajab kahānī, jisko byāhī śrīyal rānī,
Bāchal rānī jevar rānā, mahāduḥkhī the bin santānā.
Bhaṃgin ne jab bolī mārī, jīvan ho gayā unko bhārī,
Sūkhā bāg paṛā naulakhā, dekh dekh jag kā man dukkā.
Kuch din pīche sādhu āye, celā celī saṃg meṃ lāye,
Jevar rāv ne kuāṃ banavāyā, udghaṭan jab karanā cāhā.
Khārī nīr kueṃ se nikalā, rājā rānī kā man pighalā,
Rānī tab jyotiṣī bulvāyā, kaun pāp maiṃ putra na pāyā.
Koī upāy hamako batalaो, un kahā gorakh guru manāo,
Guru gorakh jo khuś ho jāī, santān pānā muśkil nāī.
Bāchal rānī gorakh gun gāve, nem dharm ko na bisarāve,
Kare tapasyā din aur rātī, ek vakt khāy rūkhī capātī.
Kārttik māgh meṃ kare snānā, vrat ikādaśī nahīṃ bhulānā,
Pūranamāsī vrat nahīṃ choṛe, dān puṇya se mukh nahīṃ moṛe.
Celoṃ ke saṃg gorakh āye, naulakhe meṃ tambū tanavāye,
Mīṭhā nīr kueṃ kā kīnā, sūkhā bāg harā kar dīnā.
Mevā phal sab sādhu khāe, apane guru ke guṇ ko gāye,
Aughaṛ bhikṣā māṃgane āe, bāchal rānī ne duḥkh sunāye.
Aughaṛ jān liyo man māhīṃ, tap bal se kuch muśkil nāhīṃ,
Rānī hove manasā pūrī, guru śaraṇ hai bahut jarūrī.
Bārah baras japā guru nāmā, tab gorakh ne man meṃ jānā,
Putra dene kī hāmī bhar lī, pūranamāsī niścay kar lī.
Kāchal kapaṭine gajab gujārā, dhokhā guru saṃg kiyā karārā,
Bāchal banakar putra pāyā, bahan kā darad zarā nahīṃ āyā.
Aughaṛ guru ko bhed batāyā, tab bāchal ne gūgal pāyā,
Kar parasādī diyā gūgal dānā, ab tum putra jano maradānā.
Līlī ghoṛī aur paṇḍatānī, lūnā dāsī ne bhī jānī,
Rānī gūgal bāṭ ke khāī, sab bāṃjhoṃ ko milī davāī.
Narasiṃh paṇḍit līlā ghoṛā, bhajju kutvāl janā raṇadhīrā,
Rūp vikaṭ dhar sab hī ḍarāve, jāharvīr ke man ko bhāve.
Bhādoṃ kṛṣṇa jab nauvamī āī, jevar rāv ke bajī badhāī,
Vivāh huā gūgā bhaye rānā, saṃgaladīp meṃ bane mehamānā.
Rānī śrīyal saṃg le phere, jāhar rāj bāgaṛ kā kare,
Arajan sarajan jane, gūgā vīr se rahe ve tane.
Dillī gae laṛane ke kājā, anaṃg pāl caṛhe mahārājā,
Usane gherī bāgaṛ sārī, jāharvīr na himmat hārī.
Arajan sarajan jān se māre, anaṃgapāl ne śastr ḍāre,
Caṛaṇ pakaṛakar piṇḍ churāyā, siṃh bhavan māṛī banavāyā.
Usī meṃ gūgāvīr samāye, gorakh ṭīlā dhūnī ramāye,
Puṇyavān sevak vahāṃ āye, tan man dhan se sevā lāe.
Manasā pūrī unkī hoī, gūgāvīr ko sumare joī,
Cālīs din paṛhe jāhar cālīsā, sāre kaṣṭ hare jagadīśā.
Dūdh pūt unheṃ de vidhātā, kṛpā kare guru gorakhanāthā.
Meaning & Significance
The Jaharveer Goga Chalisa is a devotional hymn of 40 verses dedicated to Baba Gogaji, the warrior saint revered across Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat. The chalisa narrates the miraculous birth of Gogaji through the grace of Guru Gorakhnath bestowed upon his devoted mother, Rani Bachhala. The verses describe his valour in battle against Anangpal, his spiritual lineage, and the divine blessings available to those who recite his praises. The opening dohas invoke his power as a remover of calamities, while the closing verses promise that those who recite the chalisa for forty consecutive days will have all hardships removed and will receive the blessing of progeny. The name Jaharveer literally means “the brave one who conquers poison,” reflecting his legendary power over venomous creatures, particularly snakes.
About Jaharveer Gogaji
Gogaji, also known as Jaharveer and Goga Peer, was a Rajput warrior saint born around 900 CE in Dadrewa village, Churu district, Rajasthan. He belonged to the Chauhan Rajput lineage and was a devoted disciple of the Nath yogi Guru Gorakhnath. His birth itself is described as miraculous, resulting from years of devotion by his mother Rani Bachhala at the feet of Gorakhnath. Gogaji married Shriyal Rani and ruled the Bagad region. He is revered in both Hindu and Muslim communities - Hindus know him as Gogaji and Muslims as Goga Peer - making him a rare symbol of syncretic devotion. He is especially associated with protection from snakebites, as per the boon granted to him by Nagaraj, the serpent king. His samadhi at Gogamedi in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan is a major pilgrimage site, drawing hundreds of thousands of devotees during Goga Navami each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Jaharveer Gogaji and why is he worshipped?
Jaharveer Gogaji was a tenth-century Rajput warrior saint from Dadrewa in Rajasthan, born through the grace of Guru Gorakhnath. He is worshipped as a folk deity who protects devotees from snakebites, evil spirits, and misfortunes. His unique appeal lies in being revered by both Hindus and Muslims, making him a powerful symbol of communal harmony and universal compassion.
What is the significance of reciting this chalisa for forty days?
The closing verse of the chalisa explicitly prescribes reciting it every day for forty days to remove all hardships and receive divine blessings including the gift of progeny. This forty-day discipline, known as a chaliha or vrat, is a common practice in north Indian devotional tradition, representing sustained and sincere effort in seeking divine grace.
Is the Jaharveer Goga Chalisa different from the Goga Navami vrat katha?
Yes, they are distinct texts. The Goga Navami vrat katha is a narrative prose account of Gogaji's life and miracles recited during the festival. The Jaharveer Goga Chalisa is a structured 40-verse poetic hymn in the chalisa format that praises his qualities and invokes his blessings. Both are recited on Goga Navami, but the chalisa is also suitable for daily devotional practice throughout the year.
Gogaji: the warrior saint who protects the faithful
The Jaharveer Goga Chalisa honours Gogaji, a deeply venerated folk-saint and warrior figure of Rajasthan and the broader northern Indian plains, revered across Hindu and Muslim communities alike as a protector of remarkable power. Gogaji, also known as Goga Maharaj or Zahir Peer, is celebrated in legend as a Chahamana Rajput warrior whose life story is suffused with miracles, devotion, and self-sacrifice. The Chalisa captures this syncretic spirit: it approaches Gogaji with the same reverence a traditional Chalisa gives to a deity, honouring his compassion, his mastery over serpents - a defining attribute in his iconography - and his particular care for devotees in distress.
The most important occasion for reciting the Goga Chalisa is Goga Navami, falling on the ninth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadrapada. On this day, pilgrims gather at Gogamedi in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, where Gogaji is enshrined, and the recitation of the Chalisa forms a central part of the devotional proceedings. Throughout the year, devotees believe reciting this Chalisa on Mondays and Tuesdays offers protection from serpent-related fears, sudden crises, and negative influences. The Chalisa is a living example of how India's devotional tradition embraces local saints and heroes within its broad sacred architecture, giving the community a specific, intimate point of connection to the divine.
