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.

Meaning of Each Verse of Nirvana Shatkam :
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 neither space, earth, fire, water, nor wind. I am the form of consciousness and bliss. I am the eternal Shiva.

I am not the breath, nor the five elements. I do not matter, nor the five sheaths of consciousness, nor am I the speech, the hands, or the feet. I am the form of consciousness and bliss. I am the eternal Shiva.
