Nirvana shatakam, also known as Atmashatkam is a very popular Shiva Stotra composed by Adi Shankaracharya (8th-9th Century). Adi Shankara explains his theory of Advaita (non-dualism) in this beautifully composed Sanskrit hymn.

मनो बुद्ध्यहंकारचित्तानि नाहम्
न च श्रोत्र जिह्वे न च घ्राण नेत्रे
न च व्योम भूमिर् न तेजो न वायु:
चिदानन्द रूप: शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ॥१॥

I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory,
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes,

I am the Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness; I am Shiva, I am Shiva,
The Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness.

Neither am I the breath, nor the five elements,
Neither am I the matter, nor the 5 sheaths of consciousness
Nor am I the speech, the hands, or the feet,
I am the Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness; I am Shiva, I am Shiva,
The Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness.

There is no like or dislike in me, no greed or delusion,
I know not pride or jealousy,
I have no duty, no desire for wealth, lust or liberation,
I am the Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness; I am Shiva, I am Shiva,
The Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness.

No virtue or vice, no pleasure or pain,
I need no mantras, no pilgrimage, no scriptures or rituals,
Neither am I the experienced, nor the experience itself,
I am the Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness; I am Shiva, I am Shiva,

I have no fear of death, no caste or creed,
I have no father, no mother, for I was never born,
Neither am I a relative, nor a friend, nor a teacher nor a student,
I am the Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness; I am Shiva, I am Shiva,
The Ever Pure Blissful Consciousness.
अहं निर्विकल्पॊ निराकार रूपॊ
