During this period, Merwan told Baily about Upasni Maharaj, also, and of how great a Master he was. During a conversation about Maharaj, Merwanji became inspired and composed the following arti (song of worship) in Hindi and Urdu to Upasni Maharaj:
O Master Upasni Maharaj! The emperor of sadhus and saints —
Justice, equity and staunch love made you their king!
Let us always meditate on you and repeat your name.
O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all! O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all! O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all! O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all! O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all! O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all! O Master! You are formless, attributeless, the purest of all!
By annihilating your ego, you became God Himself!
Liberate us from the clutches of maya, and bestow on us the name of God.
Free us from this worldly bondage, and hand us the cup of divine wine to drink.
Keep us away from the snares of lust, greed and anger.
Bestow on us divine light by annihilating our ego.
Help us to cross the sea of illusion.
We your servants give up all religious ceremonies and rituals for your sake.
So liberate us from these and let us always be near your feet.
We dedicate to you our body, mind and soul, come what may — make us sink or swim.
Turn sinners into saints by making us virtuous.
In your mercy, make our soul one with God!
You are all-powerful, all-merciful, all-gracious — the very essence of freedom.
You reside in all — the rich and the poor, the good and the evil.
You see only God in everything and everywhere.
You are always the same; you have no religion or caste.
You are the embodiment of Truth, all-knowledge, power and bliss — the Master.
Together we offer you our heartfelt prayers and worship.
O Yogi Raj [King of yogis]! Your devotees salute and bow down to you again and again.
