My soul has longed for You infinitely through infinity…
…beyond limitations of time and space…
…beaming wonderful tones and shades...
…voluminous waves through innumerable karmic plays,
Anant kaal sey anant kaal tak intezar…
Anant kaal sey Anant, Nitya Anand ka intezar…
...for everlasting bliss and exhilaration...
...a wait for that Transcendental Reservoir...
Anant kaal sey Tumhara intezar…
For You, Oh! Sathya Sai…
…the Ultimate Avatar…
…a wait that has spanned eternity,
And,
Will continue to do so…
…nothing can stem this flow,
For what is eternity before You…?
The moment You appear,
Eternity disappears…
…into You…
When You emerge, time does merge into You…
You forever, forever You…
Forever have I loved You…
…as infinite and eternal as You…
…is my wait and love…
…my loving wait for You…

My soul has longed for You through infinity…
…beyond limitations of time and space,
Come now,
Shower Thy Grace,
Allow it to embrace…
…my fate,
End this wait…
…set me free…infinitely...eternally…

When will I see You again,
When will my heart beat again,
When will I breathe free again,
When Baba, please tell me when…?
When will these tears stop their rain,
When will this pain relinquish their reign,
When will my soul dance again?
On You it all does depend,
So, give me my joy back again,
Give me my life back again,
When will I see You again?
When will I know the Sovereign Glory of Thy Name?
Please let me know when…
Beloved Lord, when, when, when?

When I say ‘I’, Cherished Mother Sai,
You surely know…
…it means all of creation…
…is waiting, waiting, waiting,
Beseeching You to come…
Grant…that homecoming…that Diwali…
…‘that’ daybreak…
…that break from monotony…
Appear at the earliest…
…sooner than soon,
Make eternity a tangible glistening Golden Reality,
…in the now…
The boon of Thy Glorious Magnanimity,
Kindly do endow…
…in fulfillment of each Divine Word…
…where each word is a steadfast commitment…
…an impeccable vow…
If we are not deserving…
…make us deserving somehow…
…for only You can…
Oh! Precious One, Thy Will be done…
Thy Kingdom Come…
Our tears of longing bear silhouettes of You,
Melting many a frozen memory,
Come now, end this wait that has spanned eternity…

Dil hai bekarar…
Anant kaal sey hai Tera hee intezar,
More so these past few days, months, years,
Genuinely, each and every second…
…is on par with ‘anant kaal’,
Hear our call,
Oh! Supreme Sathya Sai Avatar,
Come and end this wait,
A wait that has spanned eternity,
Now,
Allow Eternity to disappear into You,
You forever, forever You,
Oh! Adorable One, accept our plea, our adoration,
Sanction a Cosmic Celebration…
Grant heavenly reprieve,
We plead for that lofty privilege in this lifetime,
An exclusive and magnificent finale,
A splendid culmination,
A Celestial Jubilation,
Historic euphoric elation…
A Spectacular Triumph that nothing can mar,
Anant kaal sey Tera hee hai intezar,
Oh! Supreme Incarnation…
…Sathya Sai Avatar…
Come, allow our kismet to win over infinity…
Oh! Beloved Mother Sai…
Terminate this wait that has spanned eternity…
