Ek Ne Bola Main – Main
Doosre Ne Bola
Nahin Main – Bas Main
Dono Jhagde
Dono Khatm Ho Gaye
Bakra Ban
Is Duniya Mein Kho Gaye,
Bakra To Ban Gaye
Lekin Phir Bhi
Kabhi – Kabhi
Sir Takraate The
Bas Apni Main – Main Karwaate The,
Koi Jaanne Wala Jata
Hum Usey Na Bula Paate
Usey Dekh Aansoon Bahaate
Apne Purane Dinon Ki
Yaadon Mein Kho Jaate,
Koi Kuch Deta
To Kuch Khaate
Nahin To Yun Hi So Jaate,
Phir Ek Din Ki Baat Thi
Shayad Us Farishte Se
Wo Hamari Pehli Mulaquaat Thi,
Hum Raaste Se Ja Rahe The
Tabhi Humein Wo Farishta Mil Gaya
Usne Humein Uthaya
Apne Gale Se Lagaya
Bhojan Mangaya, Aur Khilaya,
Phir Hamari Kimat Dekar
Hamara Pind Chhudaya,
Na Jaane Humein Dekh
Us Farishte Ko Kya Ho Gaya Tha,
Humein Laga Yeh Sab
Ek Sapna Hai
Lekin Jab Usne
Pyar Se Uthaya
To Humein Laga
Koi To Apna Hai,
Jab Us Farishte
Ka Haath Laga
To Hamari ‘Main’ Chali Gayi,
Tab Farishte Ke Saath Aaye
Logon Ne Kaha,
‘Sai Baba’ Yeh Hai Kaun
Humein Bhi To Batao
Humein Inki Katha Sunaao,
Tab Humein Pata Laga
Ye Farishta Koi Aur Nahi
Shirdi Ke Sai Baba Hai,
Tab Baba Ne Hamari Kahani Sunayi
Hum The Bhai – Bhai
Hum Jhagadte The
Bas Apni Main – Main Karte The,
Karmon Ke Kaaran
Bakra Ban Gaye
Is Duniya Mein Kho Gaye,
Aaj In Dono Par Daya Aa Gayi
Inki Wo Purani Baatein Yaad Aa Gayi,
Pehle Jo Bakra Tha
Aaj Wo Insaan Hai
Aaj Subah Baba Ki
Vichaar – Shakti Se
Wo Mere Paas Aa Gaya
Pehle Roya Phir Bola
Aaj Hum Insaan Hai
Farishte Ke Sparsh Ka
Jaadoo Chal Gaya
Humein Bakre Se Insaan Bana Gaya,
Ab Humein Sochna Hai
Hum Kabhi Na Jhagdenge
Apni Main – Main Ko Bhi Chhodenge
Bas ‘Sai – Sai’ Bolenge,
Baba – Baba Bolenge…

एक ने बोला मैं – मैं
दूसरे ने बोला
नहीं मैं – बस मैं
दोनों झगडे
दोनों ख़त्म हो गए
बकरा बन
इस दुनिया में खो गए,
बकरा तो बन गए
लेकिन फिर भी
कभी – कभी
सर टकराते थे
बस अपनी मैं – मैं करवाते थे,
कोई जानने वाला जाता
हम उसे ना बुला पाते
उसे देख आँसू बहाते
अपने पुराने दिनों की
यादों में खो जाते,
कोई कुछ देता
तो कुछ खाते
नहीं तो यूँ ही सो जाते,
फिर एक दिन की बात थी
शायद उस फ़रिश्ते से
वो हमारी पहली मुलाकात थी,
हम रास्ते से जा रहे थे
तभी हमें वो फ़रिश्ता मिल गया
हमें उठाया
अपने गले से लगाया
भोजन मंगाया, और खिलाया,
फिर हमारी कीमत देकर
हमारा पिंड छुडाया,
ना जाने हमें देख
उस फ़रिश्ते को क्या हो गया था,
हमें लगा यह सब
एक सपना है
लेकिन जब उसने
प्यार से उठाया
तो हमें लगा
कोई तो अपना है,
जब उस फ़रिश्ते
का हाथ लगा
तो हमारी ‘मैं’ चली गयी,
तब फ़रिश्ते के साथ आये
लोगों ने कहा,
‘साईं बाबा’ यह है कौन
हमें भी तो बताओ
हमें इनकी कथा सुनाओ,
तब हमें पता लगा
ये फ़रिश्ता कोई और नहीं
शिर्डी के साईं बाबा है,
तब बाबा ने हमारी कहानी सुनाई
हम थे भाई – भाई
हम झगड़ते थे
बस अपनी मैं – मैं करते थे,
कर्मों के कारण
बकरा बन गए
दुनिया में खो गए,
आज इन दोनों पर दया आ गयी
वो पुरानी बातें याद आ गयी,
जो बकरा था
आज वो इंसान है
आज सुबह बाबा की
विचार – शक्ति से
वो मेरे पास आ गया
पहले रोया फिर बोला
आज हम इंसान है
फ़रिश्ते के स्पर्श का
जादू चल गया
बकरे से इंसान बना गया,
अब हमें सोचना है
हम कभी न झगडेंगे
अपनी मैं – मैं को भी छोडेंगे
बस ‘साईं – साईं’ बोलेंगे,
बाबा – बाबा बोलेंगे…

One said I – I, the other said, No, I – just me. Both fought and both were over. Both became goats and lost in the world. Now they both confess likes this – Though we became goats, still sometimes we bumped our heads and I – I existed. If any familiar person passed by, we could call them and see them going. Only we shed tears and got lost in memories of old days. If anyone gave something to eat, we ate, otherwise went to sleep. Then one day we met that divine soul. May be it was our first meeting. We were passing by the road and that divine soul met us. He held us, hugged and sent for food and fed us. Then He paid for our price and made us free. It was not known what happened to that divine soul after seeing us. We took it as a dream. But when He held us with love, we felt that someone is there for us. When that divine soul touched us, our “I” vanished. People who were with that divine soul asked Him, “Sai Baba, who are they, please tell us also”. Then we came to know that this divine soul is none other than Shirdi Sai Baba. Baba told our story, “They were brothers who used to fight and always acted for themselves. Due to their deeds they became goats and lost in this world. Today i remembered them”. Now due to power of Sai Baba, he (goat) came to me as a person who was goat earlier and cried. The magic of divine soul’s hand worked on us. It has made us person from goats. Now we resolve – we would not fight, leave our ego (I) and will chant “Sai Sai” and “Baba Baba”.
