देव आला देवाच्या घरी
देव आला देवाच्या घरी
उभारली नवी पंढरी |
सोने उगवले शेतीभाती
प्रेमपूर्णेची दुथडा भरती |
रात्र नसे तरी दीपोत्सव
अद्भुत किमया की सर्व |
बहरले विशाल प्रांगण
चिवचिवाट हर्षाची गुणगुण |
सडा चोहीकडे प्राजक्ताचा
फोफावला वृक्ष आनंदाचा |
देव आला देवाच्या घरी
खायी आवडीची भाकरी |
चैतन्यनगरीचा देव
वाढवी समृद्धीचे वैभव |

Here is a rendering of the Marathi composition into English by Akash Deshpande:
God has come to god’s own home
Erecting New Pandhari with its temple dome
A harvest of gold in paddy fields grows
The tide of fulfilling love unbroken flows
A festival of lamps in broad daylight
Solved is the mystery of All-delight
An unending courtyard blossomed in spring
Bird-songs and bee-hums, joyful, alluring
A blanket of Prajakta flowers on the ground
The very tree of bliss swells all around
In god’s own home is god’s golden tread
Partaking bhakari, the favorite millet bread
God of the super-city of knowledge mind
Increases the glory of the precious find
ईशा वास्यमिदं सर्व यत् किञ्च जगत्यां जगत् ।
1) All this is for habitation by the Lord, whatsoever is individual universe of movement in the universal motion.
Therefore God shall enter into this world for his habitation, build a new City for expressing the infinity of Spirit’s possibilities in it, the City of Dawn.
