Pāpa bhayambu pōyē paripāṭayipōyenu duṣkr̥tambilan
There is no fear of Sin, the wicked and cruel deeds are rampant on Earth,
śrīpati bhaktipōyē vivarimpaga lēni duranta kr̥tyamul
dāpuramayyē lōkamuna tāpasalōka śaraṇyuḍaina
Devotion towards God has vanished, unspeakable incidents of Cruelty and Misdeeds happening every day,
Ee śrīpati nāmacintanamē cēkuracēyu sukhambu mānavā!
Amidst all this Chaos, O Man!! Chanting the Lord"s name,
who is the only Refuge of the Noble, alone will deliver Happiness and Peace to Mankind.
Meaning :
Life in the Mundane World is Impermanent
Youth and Wealth are not Lasting forever
Wife and Children and other relatives are Liable to Vanish
Truth(Righteousness) and Fame endure forever.
Swami says " Truth is the Credibility that stays forever not the worldly things that you are acquired or to be acquired of! ".
When the Dharma of the age is laid aside
To redirect and lead in the righteous path
When the world is polluted by conflict and confusion
To restore the path of virtue
When good men caught in cruel coils and wail in distress
To protect such noble ones
To reveal and proclaim the hidden essence of the scriptures
which are lost in the passage of time
To relieve Mother Earth from the burden of vice
To fulfill the promises made in the Treta age
Just as Lord Krishna, the Eternal One, Lord Sai descended as on Earth.

Here, more valuable than Life itself is One"s Honor such a Country"s Principles are Discarded Today.
