श्री साईं प्रार्थना - Shri Sai Prathna







साईं कृपा से व्रत कथा लिखवाई, भक्तों के हाथों में पहुंची|
साईं गुरुवार व्रत करे जो कोई, उसका कल्याण तो हरदम होई|

Sai krupaa  se  vruth  kadhaa  likvai, bhakthon ke  haathon may pahunchi,
Sai  guruvar vruth kare jo koi, uskaa   kalyan tho hardham hoi

Sai due to  his mercy  got written the story of the penance to him and this reached  hands of his devotees,
Oh Sai he  who does penance on Thursday, His welfare  would definitely take place

घर बार सुख शांति होवे, साईं ध्यान करे जो सोवे|
भोग लगावे निसदिन बाबा को जोई उसके घर में कमी होई|

Ghar  baar   sukha  saanthi hove, sai  dhyan kare jo sove
Bhogh lagaave  nis dhin  Baba  ko   joi uske   ghar  mein kam na hoyee

The house  of him  who keeps  on thinking about  Sai  would  be filled  with pleasure  and peace ,
To the one   who makes  offering to Baba, in his home  there would never  be shortages

बाबा की प्रार्थना करिए, साईं मेरे दुःख को हरिए|
शिरडी में बाबा की मूर्ति है प्यारी, भक्तों को लगे है न्यारी|

Baba  ki prarthanaa kareeye, sai  mere  dukh ko hariyee
Shirdi mein  baba jki murthi hai, Bhakthom  ko lage  hai nyaari

Please   pray   to God, “Oh Sai  please  remove all my sorrows,
The  statue  of Baba is in shirdi and it has become  very dear  to his  devotees


मेरे साईं मेरे बाबा, मेरा मन्दिर मेरा काबा|
राम भी तुम शाम भी तुम हो, शिवजी का अवतार भी तुम हो, |

Mere sai , mere Baba, meraa  mandhir, meraa  kaabaa,
Raam bhi  thum, Shyam bhi thum  ho, Shivjee  ka avathaar  bhi thum ho

My Sai , My Baba, My temple , My Samadhi,
You are  also Ram , you are  also shyam , you are  also incarnation of Shiva

हनुमान तुम ही हो साईं, तुम्ही ने थी लंका जलाई|
कलियुग में तुम आए थे साईं, भक्तों का कल्याण हो जाई|

Hanuman  thum hi ho SAi, THumhi nay thee lanka  jalaayee,
Kaliyug may thum  aaye  they sai, BHakthom  ka kalyaan ho jai

You are  also Hanuman, Oh Sai,  It is you  who burnt  Lanka,
In Kali age you came, Oh Sai, so that  good   would happen to devotees

भक्तिभाव से पड़े कथा जो, उसकी इच्छा पूरी हो जाती|
बाबा मेरे आओ साईं हमको दर्शन दिखलाओ साईं|

BHakthi bhav se  pade Kadha  jo, uski  ichaa  poori ho jaathi,
Baba  mere aavo sai, humko darsan  dhiklao   sai.

If he  reads  his story with devotion, then all his wishes would get completely fulfilled,
My Baba  Sai please  come, Oh Sai  , show yourself   to us

तुम बिन दिल नहीं लगता, आंसू का दरिया है निकलता|
जब-जब देखें तेरी मूरत, तब-तब भीग जाए मेरी मूरत|

Thum bin  dhil nahin lagthaa, aason kaa   dariyaa  hai niklaathaa,
Jab jab deken their moorath, thab thab beeg jayee  meri moorath

Without you  my mind is not stable, the stream  of tears  starts  flowing,
And whenever  I see  form, at all those times, my form gets  drenched


अंधन को आंखे देते, दीन दुखी के दुख हर लेते|
तुम सा नहीं है कोई सहाई, जपते रहें हम साईं साईं|

Andhan ko AAnkh dethe, Dheen dukhi ko dukh  har  lethe,
Thum saa  nahin hai koi sahayee, japthe rahen hum sai, sai

You  give  eye to the blind, you destroy   the sorrows of those sad with poverty,
There  is no helper  like you and we  keep on chanting  SAi, Sai

नाम तुम्हारा मंगलकारी, भवसागर से भक्तों को तारी|
बाबा मेरे अवगुण माफ कर देना, भक्ति मेरी को ही लेना|

Naam thumhara  mangalkaari, bhava   saagar  se  bhakthon ko thaari,
Baba  mere  avagun maaph kar  dhenaa, bhkthi meri ko hi lenaa

Your name  creates auspiciousness, It is  a boat  which helps devotees  cross  the ocean of SAmsara.
Oh Baba , please pardon my bad  qualities and take only my devotion.

बाबा हम पर दया करना, अपने चरणों में ही रखना|
चरणों में तुम्हारे शीतल छाया, बचे रहेंगे नहीं पड़ेगी मंद छाया|,


Baba hum par dhayaa  karnaa, apne   charanon may hi rakhnaa,
Charanom may thumhaare  seethal chaayaa, bache  rahenge nahi padengi mandh cchaayya

Oh Baba  , please  be kind to us and keep us always at your feet,
For the cool shade  in your feet only will remain and bad shadow   will never fall there

हमारी बुद्धि निर्मल करना, जग की भलाई हमसे करना|
हमको साधन बना लो बाबा, दया कृपा क्षमा दो बाबा|

Hamaari budhi  nirmal karnaa, jag kee  bhalaayee   humse  karnaa,
Humko   saadhan  bhanaa lo baba, dhayaa, krupaa , kshamaa  dho baba.

Please  make our brain clear, Make  the welfare of world through us.
Please  make  use of us Baba, please  give us  mercy, kindness and psatience.

अज्ञानी हम बालक मंदबुद्धि, तेरी दया से हो मन की शुद्धि|
पाप ना कोई हमसे होने पाए, दुःख कोई जीव ना पाए|
हरपल भला हम करते आए, गुणगान हरपल तेरे गांए|

Ajnani  hum baalak  , mandha  budhi, their dhayaa  se ho man ki shudhi,
Paap naa  koi humse hone paaye , dukh  koi  jeev  naa paaye,
Harpal   bhalaa  hum  karthe  aaye, guna gaan  harpal   there  gaauyen

I am  an ignorant one a boy  who is dull, by your kindness let my mind become clean,
Let I never  be responsible to do sins, let  no one get  sorrow   from us,
I have been  doing  good every second and singing  your praise   every second



||दोहा||
साईं हम पर कृपा करो, बालक हैं अनजान|
मंदबुद्धि हम जीव हैं, हमको लो आन संभाल||||

E, dhi/
SAi   hum par  krupaa  karo, Balak hai anjaan,
Mandha budhi   hum jeev hain, humko lo aan sambhaal  1

Oh Sai  please  show  kindness to us,,I am an innocent boy,
I am dull  headed  being, please  take us and manage my honour

व्रत आपका कर रहे, दो आशीष यह आन|
विध्न पड़े इसमें कोई, कृपा करो दीनदयाल||||

Vruth  aapkaa  kar  rahe, dho aasesh yah aan,
Vighna pade na yis may koi, Krupaa  karo  dheen dhayaal

I  am doing your  penance, please  grant me your blessing,
Oh Lord   who is kind to the suffering, let not  any stoppages  occur in that.
