SAI THE LOVER OF DEVOUT

 

1 Enruptured with THY, VERSE and word

Impervious to sufferings, Immune to sorrows, enduringly PATIENT,

Meeting the MEEK, SICKLY, and many in DISPAIR.,

Among them to" LIVE and DIE", give me Unfailing FAITH.,

And to make SERVICE to FELLOW - BEINGS, a mission in LIFE.,

O! SAI the LOVER of DEVOUT, O! the SAI of SHIRIDI.,

 

2. Surrendering 'SELF – RESPECT’, Saluting the leg that kicked,

Kissing the Hand that Harmed., subdueing Hunger with DISCARDED FOOD, Leading

an Humiliating life; Unable to defend HONOUR or tend VALOUR.,

Living as the most DESPICABLE Being; without an Aim, without a purpose.,

REFORM me, REDEEM me O! SAI the LOVER of DEVOUT, O! the SAI of SHIRIDI.,

 

3. Knowing Not the 'ETHOS of ETHICS’ and the Nuances of Deception. Being

"FRANK and INNOCENT", a target for "RIDICULE".,

Befooled by many, Belittled by several; confused and perplexed.,

"FEW" are Devout, Dutious and magnanimous.,

"MAJORITY” mundane, IGNORANT, PROUD .WICKED and ‘Vindictive’.,

“ONLY "the few Devoted to THEE, send them to 'my’ RESCUE;

O! SAI the LOVER of DEVOUT, O! the SAI of SHIRIDI.,

 

4. Ever to the Aid of THY DEVOTEES, in stress and in Distress.,

Ever with "them" on their JOURNEY - to -DELIVERENCE.,

When THOU shall look and listen to Beings like "me"?

Show "them" mercy and Tow them to safety ASHORE ?

When THOU shall Arrive to transform "them" into 'THY" 'DEVOTEES' ?

O! OCEAN of COMPASSION, O! SAI the lover of devout, O! the SAI of SHIRIDI.,

 

5. To Uplift the "PIOUS" ever determined is "GOD",

"PIOUS" I am Not., but a "sure" sinner I am.,

Due to "KARMA"(1) of many a previous Birth.,

'Devoid' of 'piety' who shall Uplift me ? who? Except "THOU",

That too with LAVISH love unto the 'last,

In "this" Birth, in the "next" and in "all" the succeeding Births.,

O! MUNIFICNT, O! MERCIFUL, O! SAI the LOVER of DEVOUT, O! The SAI of SHIRDI

(1) Karma: Results/Fruits of Actions
