from every corner of india
they come leaving their egos
at the foot of the malangad
mountains they climb
the steps to his kingdom
haji malang baba
with open hands
to his shrine welcomes
for the muslims a dargah
for the hindus 'a godly ashram
to partake of his blessings
his generosity his wisdom
his divine spirituality
cleanses your system
makes you wholesome
his inner sanctum sanctorum
for the rafaees holy smoke
dhuni dum maro dum
maro dum mitte gham
for the siddis baba gor
junagadh sound of the drums
for the dambardar malangs
new holy chants to hum

The Latin phrase sanctum sanctorum means literally "Holy of Holies."
