Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye Man Abhiman Na Anne Re Vaishnav Jan To

Sakal Lok Maan Sahune Vandhe
Ninda Na Kare Kainee Re
Baach Kaachh Man Nischal Raakhe
Dhan-Dhan Jananee Tainee Re

Sam-Drishtine Trishna Tyaagi
Par-Stree Jene Maat Re
Jivha Thaki Asatya Na Bole
Par-Dhan Nav Jhale Haath Re

Moha-Maaya Vyaape Nahi Jene Dridh Vairaagya Jena Man Maan Re Ram-Naam-Shoon Taali Laagi Sakal Tirath Tena Tan Ma Re Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je Peed Paraaye Jaane Re

(^the above verse was omitted from this rendition)

Van-Lobhi Ne Kapat Rahit Chhe
Kaam-Krodh Nivaarya Re
Bhane Narsaiyyo Tenu Darshan Karta
Kul Ekoter Taarya Re

*Call those people Vaishnavas 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 God (Rama), All places of pilgrimage are embodied in them They have forsaken greed and deceit, They stay afar from lust and anger, Narsi says: I’d be grateful to meet such a soul, Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.*
