(This is one of the very popular prayers in
Hindi sung by all Hindus. It is written in a colloquial dialect of Hindi and
touches the heart instantly. This translation is slightly different from what
is available in the web. .I have tried to translate the words and also tried to
have a similar poetic format, so that it can be sung.)
