Forgetting
my assigned duty that daily the
name of Lord sai is most important and thinking
only about you,
Bowing
on;y to your feet, I did various type of worships,
I
read your divine story, I chanted
only your divine name
As
per your words daily I did charity of food
I
do not how to pain the mind of others
Inspite
of doing this, at this time why did suffering come to me, please tell me
what mistake I did?
Did
you think , that I am a silly fellow who put on the form of a devotee and
carried out false drama?
Please come
and bless me who is very confused,
Oh
Lord Sai who lives in holy city of Shirdi.

You
made devotees be seen on your side by
your attractive grace,
Because
crores of devotees caught your feet, did you not have time to show
compassion to me or was it you did not
have mind?
Even
for a second I would not go away from
you, even for a time of batting of an
eye,, I will not move away from you,
Oh
Sai , I do not know what mistake you
found in my devotion, was it old fate or
bad fate?
Your
mercy is more than sufficient to burn the bad fate, oh ocean of mercy,
Oh
lord who
has a mind more kind than mother, if your child cries , would your
mind be able to bear it?
To
me who only prattles your name , please
come fast and bless me,
Oh
Lord Sai who lives in holy city of Shirdi.

Even
after a very poisonous snake bit
Shama, did you not get him
released from grip of god of death,
Og
God of all, He who reclines on Sesha, why this
hesitation to protect and bless
me,
My
eyes had shed tears and have dried up.
Even
my toungue singing name of Sai has
dried,
I
do not know about your anger on me,
Except your thought, I do not think of any other thing
I
have surrended to you , thinking you are my only savior
Please
bekind to my devotion, at this moment appear
before my eyes and to grant the
boons I wanted , please come fast, Sai
Oh
Lord Sai who lives in holy city of Shirdi.

The
devotion that I have for you in my pure
mind, is the truth
Having
heard your divine story, becoming a Sai
devotee, I became mad with sai
I was lying on your flower like feet with great
devotion
If
you do not see me, it is not just
If
you do not wipe out my sorrow, the world will jeer at us
Sai did not become kind to you, your devotion is
a drama, they will say
Has
sorrow come to sai Devotee? And they will also find fault with you
If
some one find faults with you , my
mind will not be able to bear it
Protect from
bad words and come to bless the
devotee very quickly
Oh
Lord Sai who lives in holy city of Shirdi.

Me
who did not anything, was a fool,
was ignorant one and wandering without
knowing what is God, was made by you to
see your feet and you made me your devotee
Oh
teacher of all religions who taught all
relegions are agreeable,
If
you do not wipe out my sorrow at this
moment, the atheism would jump with joy
It
would say , god is a lie with
teasing loud laugh
It
would find faught with devotion and belief
I
knew that , you are not a lie and you
are the truth
To
me who
tell all with pride that You are
spreading through out the world as
truth, please come with speed and bless
me
Oh
Lord Sai who lives in holy city of Shirdi.

Why
fear when I am there, you told us to
have devotion with great faith
How long will I remain patient, is there not a limit to patience
I
am not a great god, I am an ordinary
human being subject to birth and
death
Time
has passed.Crossing me many people hae
gone ahead
My
heat is heavy due to the worries
Please take pity
on the devotee who is struggling
due to defeat, and is like a worm which
has been caught and has died of pain
And
grant a prosperous life with sixteen type of wealth, rich life, prosperity and greatness, health and life span, victory leading to fame as well
as wealth and charity
Oh
Lord Sai who lives in holy city of Shirdi
