shirdi gaav hai ati paavan
mere guru ko lagta vo manbhavan
sai ne banai isko jo apni karmbhoomi
ab to lagta jaise saache dharm ki vo janani
shirdi gaav ko mera naman
yahan ki galiyon me tune kiya bhraman
jis dharti ke tukro ko tune paavo se chua
sone hire jaisa uska samman hua
vahan ki mitti ban gai chandan
bhakton ke maathe ka aabhushan
shirdi ki havao me mehekti teri sugandh
vriksh or paodhe bhi karte tera naamsmaran
aata chakki sunaye teri jeevan gaatha
chavadi me bhakt ragarte maatha
tere charno ka paavan jal barasata banjar me saavan
sab kehete hai
shirdi gaav hai ati paavan
mere guru ko lagta vo manbhavan
sai ne banai isko jo apni karmbhoomi
ab to lagta jaise saache dharm ki vo janani
shirdi ke neem vriksh ko mera naman
uski chaav tale tum karte the manan
neem misal karvahat ki
usne jo man se teri khidmat ki
shahad se mithe ho gaye patte
tere prem hua kitne dusht ache
solah baras ke baalak banke aaye
pyaar or khushiyon ki bahar sang laaye
allah maalik kehkar ram ke gun gaaye
dharm ke bhed pal me mitaye
na koi apna na paraya, tera tha na rehne ka thikana
tu akela, saath tere parbhrahm ka khazana
dalito ko gale lagakar , jaat paat kobulaye bahana
tu albela,hua sara gaav tera deewana
tere dar se nikalti daya ki kiran
sab kehete hai
shirdi gaav hai ati paavan
mere guru ko lagta vo manbhavan
sai ne banai isko jo apni karmbhoomi
ab to lagta jaise saache dharm ki vo janani
shirdi ki dwarkamai ko mera naman
iski dharti par tune barso tak kiya shayan
yahan ke kan kan me tune apna astitva boya hai
yahan ka har ek pathar teri sudhiyon me khoya hai
is masjid ko banaya sabki maiya
bhaktan hit ye bani chandika,tum kevat taarak naavo ke khivaiya
yahin baithkar gyan ka updesh sunaya
apne vachano ka ise praman bataya
karm-dharm ke bhed samajhaye
anpad ko gyaneshvari padaye
tune baccho ka haath thamkar chalna sikhaya
jhoot fareb ke kaato se bhakton ko bachaya
karte ho tumhi to maa ki tarah bacchon ka palan
sab kehete hai
shirdi gaav hai ati paavan
mere guru ko lagta vo manbhavan
sai ne banai isko jo apni karmbhoomi
ab to lagta jaise saache dharm ki vo janani
sai tumko karo mai koti-koti naman
tumhare charnon me hi man mera kare bhraman
jeevan bhar karo teri leelaon ka manan
tere sameep hi ho mera antim shayan
meri vinti sun lo
mushko apne paavo ka ghungru bana do
pero me baandh apne isharo pe nacha lo
mushko apna shyamsunder bana do
khud ko mere dil or dimag me savar kara dlo
mushko apni iit tum bana lo
jeevan ka sangi banake meri hifajat karo
mai bhi man se kaho
shirdi gaav hai ati paavan
mere guru ko lagta vo manbhavan
sai ne banai isko jo apni karmbhoomi
ab to lagta jaise saache dharm ki vo janani

the village shirdi is very pious
it appeared pleasing to my guru
for sai made it his place of work
now it appears as if it is the mother of all religions
i bow before the village shirdi
you roamed in its streets
those pieces of land which you touched with your feet
are honoured like gold and diamond
the earth of that place became sandal
it became the jewel adorning the foreheads of thy devotees
the winds of shirdi carry your sweet smell
trees and shrubs also recite your name
the flour and grinding wheel recite your life story
and devotees rub their foreheads in your chavadi
the holy water of your feet pours rain on arid places
everyone says
the village shirdi is very pious
it appeared pleasing to my guru
for sai made it his place of work
now it appears as if it is the mother of all religions
i bow before the neem tree of shirdi
under the shade of which you sat engrossed in divine contemplation
the neem a symbol of bitterness
when it served you with devotion
its leaves became as sweet as honey
by thy affection many devils converted into saints
you came as a sixteen year old boy
and brought with you a flood of love and happiness
calling Allah the master , you sang the praises of Lord Ram
in a moment you broke the differences between religions
you neither had any freind nor any foe
you had no place to live
you were alone ,but brought with yourself the treasure of spiritual knowledge
you embraced the dalits and called casteism an excuse
you were unique,so the whole world became your fan
from your court emanates the ray of kindness
everyone says
the village shirdi is very pious
it appeared pleasing to my guru
for sai made it his place of work
now it appears as if it is the mother of all religions
i bow before the dwarkamai of shirdi
you slept on its floor for many years
you have sown your presence in every grain of this place
every stone of this place is lost in thy rememberance
you have made this mosque mother of all
for the benefit of thy devotees, it became Goddess Durga, and you the saviour of kevat became the boatman
you sat here and preached knowledge
marking this mosque as an evidence of thy words
you revealed the meaning of karma and dharma
you made illiterates well versed in gyaneshwari
you held the hands of thy children
and taught them how to walk
you saved them from the thorns of falsehood
you take care of your children like a mother
everyone says

now it appears as if it is the mother of all religions
sai, i bow before you hundreds of times
my mind always remains engrossed in thy holy feet
i want to remember your deeds throughout my lifetime
i want to breathe my last near you
listen to my prayers
make me the anklet of thy feet
tie me in your legs and make me dance as per thy instructions
make me thy shyamsunder
get yourself ridden in my heart and mind
make me thy brick
make me thy comrade and protect me
so that i also say from my heart
the village shirdi is very pious
it appeared pleasing to my guru
for sai made it his place of work
now it appears as if it is the mother of all religions
