Indian bhajans or hymns are quite popular in India and foreign countries too. There is a special Kirtan band section of devotees in Western countries that sing and play musical instruments with these bhajans.
A lot of them know many bhajans by heart and perform on number of occassions, sometimes regularly at meditations centers, yoga studios etc.
I know many of such musicians and artists who love to sing Indian bhajans and play harmonium, guitar, tabla, flute and even tanpura. I am providing the Devanagari and IAST format for easy understanding of the bhajan and also for better pronunciation.
Wherever possible, I have provided the meaning of the difficult words.

हरि ओं नमः शिवाय
शिव शिव शङ्कर हर परमेश्वर
साईंश्वराय नमः ओम्
शिव शिव शङ्कर हर परमेश्वर
साईंश्वराय नमः ओम्
Transliteration of this bhajan in IAST format:
Hari Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya
Śiva Śiva Śaṅkara Hara Parameśvara
Sāī’ṅśvarāya Namaḥ Om
Śiva Śiva Śaṅkara Hara Parameśvara
Sāī’ṅśvarāya Namaḥ Om
Meaning of some words:
- Sāī’ṅśvarāya–To Sai’ṅ Ishvara (the dative case of Sai’ṅ Ishvara)
- Namaḥ–Salutation
- Two different spellings of Oṁ and Om due to rules of joining in Sanskrit
