"Bolo Sai Naam"

I always feel happy helping people on Internet. Whether it is advising on career, giving them music, or writing lyrics for them: I recently recieved a request from Adrian in Argentina for the lyrics of this bhajan sung by Anup Jalota. Since I had some time on hand, I transcribed it.

Lyrics to "Bolo Sai Naam"

Haridwar, Kashi, Mathura, ya Brindavan ka vaas
Ganga, Jamuna, mandir masjid, ik sai baba

Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Saancha Sai jag par chhai
jag par chhai Saancha Sai
Har subah har shaam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Sai rasta, Sai rahi
Sai ne manjil man chahi
Sai sumran, Sai vandan
Sai amrit, Sai chandan
Sai pooja, aur naa dooja
Sai pooja, aur naa dooja
Shirdi jaisa dhaam

Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Saancha Sai jag par chhai
jag par chhai Saancha Sai
Har subah har shaam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Bada na chota, Sai ke dar
Ham sab nadiyan, Sai samandar
Sai deepak, Sai baati
Jyoti jiski sukh barsati
Dhoop chaaon mein, shehar gaaon mein
Jahan mile vishram

Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Saancha Sai jag par chhai
jag par chhai Saancha Sai
Har subah har shaam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Bhool kare ham, maaf kare Sai
Ham Sab se insaaf kare Sai
Ooncha neecha koi na jisko
Kyon na dhaare fir hum usko
Jeevan duvidha, Sai suvidha
Sai banaye kaam

Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam

Saancha Sai jag par chhai
jag par chhai Saancha Sai
Har subah har shaam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam
Bolo Sai Naam, bolo bolo Sai naam
