Answer in Details
Certainly! The Rudrashtakam is a beautiful Sanskrit hymn in praise of Lord Shiva, composed by the great poet Goswami Tulsidas. Here is its English transliteration (not translation):Rudrashtakam (in English transliteration):
Namami shamishan nirvan rupam
Vibhum vyapakam brahma-vedaswaroopam
Nijam nirgunam nirvikalpam niriham
Chidakashmakashavasam bhajeham
Nirakaramoankaramoolam turiyam
Gira gyana gotitamisham girisham
Karalam mahamrityu mrityum krapanam
Shivam sarva dharam shantam unantam
Tamah param jyotir formlessly pure
Vichintyam avedyam anantam vibhum
Prabhum pranamisham akashaswarupam
Bhaje paramesham ajam nirvikalpam
Nirlepam niramayam apoorvam anantam
Swabhavam prakatam bhavaheenam shivam
Yatash chittam atma atitam atulyam
Paresham param pavanam dhyanagamyam
Yatoh karma bandha prabhavam punyam
Yato maya shakti tishthati vishwam
Yato jivanam yato muktireva
Tasmai shri dakshinamurtaye namah
Na yavad uma natha padarvindam
Bhajantiha loke pare va naranam
Na tavat sukham shanti santap nasham
Prasadeyna yogi dridabhakta labhyah
Na janami yogam japam naiva pujam
Natoham sada sarvada shambhu tubhyam
Jarajjanma dukhau ghatatapyamanam
Prabho pahi apannamami shambho
Rudrashtakam idam proktam viprena hartoshaye shambho
Yeh pathet shiv sannikate shuchih
Sa sarva sukham bhuktwa kaanthe shivloke mahiyate
