Arrival at Shirdi
Original
शिरडी की पावन भूमि में, आए साईं हमारे। द्वारकामाई के वास में, चमके दिव्य सितारे। फकीर का रूप धरा, पर मन में था सार। मानवता के रक्षक, जग के पालनहार।
Transliteration
Shirdi ki paavan bhoomi mein, aaye Sai hamare. Dwarkamai ke vaas mein, chamke divya sitare. Fakir ka roop dhara, par mann mein tha saar. Manavta ke rakshak, jag ke paalanhaar.
Meaning / Translation
In the holy land of Shirdi, our Sai has arrived. In the abode of Dwarkamai, divine stars shine. He took the form of a Fakir, but his essence was profound. The protector of humanity, the nurturer of the world.

The Message of Oneness

सबका मालिक एक है, यही सत्य है प्यारा। भेद-भाव को मिटाकर, बनाया जग सारा। न हिंदू न मुसलमान, सब हैं एक समान। साईं की शरण में, मिलता परम ज्ञान।

Sabka Malik Ek hai, yahi satya hai pyaara. Bhed-bhaav ko mitaakar, banaya jag saara. Na Hindu na Musalman, sab hain ek samaan. Sai ki sharan mein, milta param gyaan.

God is One for everyone, this is the beautiful truth. By erasing discrimination, he united the whole world. Neither Hindu nor Muslim, all are equal. In the refuge of Sai, one attains supreme knowledge.
