Vaishnava Jana To

वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिये    जे पीड परायी जाणे रे ।
पर दुःखे उपकार करे तो ये मन अभिमान न आणे रे ॥

 

सकळ लोकमां सहुने वंदे,  निंदा न करे केनी रे ।
वाच काछ मन निश्चल राखे,  धन धन जननी तेनी रे ॥

 

समदृष्टि ने तृष्णा त्यागी,  परस्त्री जेने मात रे ।
जिह्वा थकी असत्य न बोले,  परधन नव झाले हाथ रे ॥

 

मोह माया व्यापे नहि जेने,  दृढ़ वैराग्य जेना मनमां रे ।
रामनाम शुं ताळी रे लागी,  सकळ तीरथ तेना तनमां रे ॥

 

वणलोभी ने कपटरहित छे,  काम क्रोध निवार्या रे ।
भणे नरसैयॊ तेनुं दरसन करतां,    कुळ एकोतेर तार्या रे ॥

Meaning:

Call those people Vaishnav who
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,
But never let self-conceit enter their mind.

 

They respect the entire world,
Do not disparage anyone,
Keep their words, actions and thoughts pure,
The mother of such a soul is blessed.

 

They see all equally, renounce craving,
Respect other women as their own mother,
Their tongue never utters false words,
Their hands never touch the wealth of others.

 

They do not succumb to worldly attachments,
They are firmly detached from the mundane,
They are enticed by the name of Raam,
All places of pilgrimage are embodied in them.

 

They have forsaken greed and deceit,
They stay afar from desire and anger,
Narsi says: I'd be grateful to meet such a soul,
Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.
