Kai Janmon Se Bhatak Raha Tha Idhar Udhar,
Ab Bhatakna Chahata Hoon Shirdi Ki Galiyon Mein…Bhatak Raha Tha Mera Man Na Jaane Kin-Kin Cheezon Mein,
Ab Bhatkaana Chahata Hoon Ise Teri Adbhut Leelaon Mein…Aansoo Behte The Na Jaane Kis-Kis Ichhaaon Ki Chaah Mein,
Ab Agar Nikle Ye Aansoo To Sirf Tujhe Paane Ki Chaah Mein…Dard Deti Thi Mujhe Na Jaane Kitni Wo Baatein Thi,
Tune Apne Bhakton Ke Kitne Dard Uthaye…Wo Kyun Yaad Nahi Aati Thi…Choti-Choti Baaton Par Khush Hone Ka Dhoondta Tha Main Bahaana,
Ab Dil Khush Hota Hai Dekh Kar Tera Bhakton Ke Saath Jhoomna…Bhautik Cheezon Ki Taraf Aakarshit Hota Tha Man Dekh Kar Uska Roop,
Aaj Bhi Hona Chahata Hoon Aakarshit Dekh Kar Tera Maanav-Fakeer Swaroop…Ghamand To Tab Bhi Tha, Jab Kuch Mera Na Tha Aur Koi Mera Nahin,
Ghamand Ab Bhi Hai Kyonki Mere Baba Jaisa Parvardigaar Koi Nahin…Na Jaane Kitne Pashchataap Kiye Apne Kitni Hi Choti-Badi Galtiyon Par,
Ab Pachtava To Yeh Hai Ki, Kyun Paida Nahi Hua Main Shirdi Ki Dharti Par…Kai Janmon Se Bhatak Raha Tha Idhar Udhar,
Ab Bhatakna Chahata Hoon Shirdi Ki Galiyon Mein…!!
कई जन्मों से भटक रहा था इधर उधर,
अब भटकना चाहता हूँ शिर्डी की गलियों में…भटक रहा था मेरा मन ना जाने किन-किन चीज़ों में,
अब भटकाना चाहता हूँ इसे तेरी अद्भुत लीलाओं में…आंसू बहते थे ना जाने किस-किस इच्छाओं की चाह में,
अब अगर निकले ये आंसू तो सिर्फ तुझे पाने की चाह में…दर्द देती थी मुझे ना जाने कितनी वो बातें थी,
तूने अपने भक्तों के कितने दर्द उठाये… वो क्यूँ याद नहीं आती थी…छोटी-छोटी बातों पर खुश होने का ढूँढता था मैं बहाना,
अब दिल खुश होता है देख कर तेरा भक्तों के साथ झूमना…भौतिक चीज़ों की तरफ आकर्षित होता था मन देख कर उसका रूप,
आज भी होना चाहता हूँ आकर्षित देख कर तेरा मानव-फ़कीर स्वरुप…घमंड तो तब भी था, जब कुछ मेरा ना था और कोई मेरा नहीं,
घमंड अब भी है क्योंकि मेरे बाबा जैसा परवरदिगार कोई नहीं…ना जाने कितने पश्चाताप किये अपने कितनी ही छोटी-बड़ी गलतियों पर,
अब पछतावा तो यह है की, क्यूँ पैदा नहीं हुआ मैं शिर्डी की धरती पर…कई जन्मों से भटक रहा था इधर उधर,
अब भटकना चाहता हूँ शिर्डी की गलियों में…!!
I was wondering from many path births, but now i wish to wonder in lanes of Shirdi. My mind was wondering in many useless things now, i wish to make it wonder (think) in Your stories of sports. Tears came out for other wishes now, i wish that tears roll out my eyes only for desire to meet You. I was hurt by infinite happenings, but how can I forget pains You have suffered for Your devotees. This heart roamed about in search of small happiness, now it becomes happy when it sees You happy with Your devotees. Beautiful worldly things attracted me, but today i wish to be attracted by seeing Your form as a Human-Fakeer. I was feeling proud when i had nothing and now also i am feeling proud that no one is like my Sai Baba. I repented many times on my small and big mistakes, but now repentance is because i am not born in soil of Shirdi. I was wondering from many path births, but now i wish to wonder in lanes of Shirdi.
