Once Shirdi was indeed a remote location

Where farming was the main vocation.

Soon there came a surprise

It became a holy paradise

It witnessed the Advent of the Divine

The name of Sai shall always shine.

His ways and miracles created a curiosity

How lamps without oil were lit by the Universal Luminosity.

He was an embodiment of Patience e and Fortitude

His endeavour was to to reform us and change our our attitude.

The village folk had a bird’s eye view of all His magnificent features

To learn to see Him as an indweller of all the creatures.

The soil of Shirdi had the fortune of providential rain

Showers of Ambrosia were there to remove our grief and pain.

For our souls and salvation to meet

We must remember to take shelter at His Lotus Feet
