वैष्णव जन तो
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिए, जे पीड़ पराई जाणे रे।
पर दुःखे उपकार करे तोये, मन अभिमान न आणे रे॥
Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye, je peed parai jane re
Par dukhe upkar kare toye, man abhiman na ane re
Call that one a true Vaishnava who feels the pain of others as their own; who serves those in distress yet never lets pride touch the mind.
Verse 2
सकळ लोकमां सहुने वंदे, निंदा न करे केनी रे।
वाच काछ मन निश्चळ राखे, धन धन जननी तेनी रे॥
Sakal lokma sahune vande, ninda na kare keni re
Vach kachh man nishchal rakhe, dhan dhan janani teni re
Who bows to all and speaks ill of none; who keeps speech, conduct and mind steadfast — blessed is the mother who bore them.
Verse 3
समदृष्टि ने तृष्णा त्यागी, परस्त्री जेने मात रे।
जिह्वा थकी असत्य न बोले, परधन नव झाले हाथ रे॥
Samdrishti ne trishna tyagi, parastri jene maat re
Jihva thaki asatya na bole, pardhan nav jhale haath re
Who sees all equally, has renounced craving, and reveres another's wife as a mother; whose tongue never speaks untruth and whose hand never takes another's wealth.
Verse 4
मोह माया व्यापे नहि जेने, दृढ़ वैराग्य जेना मनमां रे।
रामनाम शुं ताळी रे लागी, सकळ तीरथ तेना तनमां रे॥
Moh maya vyape nahi jene, dridh vairagya jena manma re
Ramnaam shu tali re lagi, sakal tirath tena tanma re
Whom delusion and attachment cannot touch, whose mind is firmly detached, ever absorbed in Rama's name — within their body live all the holy places.
Verse 5
वणलोभी ने कपटरहित छे, काम क्रोध निवार्या रे।
भणे नरसैयॊ तेनुं दरसन करतां, कुळ एकोतेर तार्या रे॥
Vanlobhi ne kapatrahit chhe, kaam krodh nivarya re
Bhane Narsaiyo tenu darshan karta, kul ekoter tarya re
Without greed and without guile, having banished lust and anger — Narsinh says, the sight of such a one redeems seventy-one generations.
