Raga Mishra Khamaj
Tala: Adi
Composer: Narasinh Mehta
Vaishnav jan tho thene kahiye je
PeeD paraayi jaaNe re
Par-dhukhkhe upkaar kare thoye
Man abhimaan na aaNe re (Vaishnava)
SakaL lok maan sahune vande
Nindhaa na kare keni re
Vaach kaachh man nishchaL raakhe
Dhan-dhan janani theni re (Vaishnava)
Sam-dhrishti ne thrishna thyaagi
Par-sthree jene maath re
Jihva thaki asathya na bole
Par-dhan nav jhaalee haath re (Vaishnava)
Moh-maaya vyaape nahi jene
DriDa vairaagya jena man maan re
Ram naam shoon thaaDire laagi
SakaL thirath thena than maan re (Vaishnava)
VaN-lobhi ne kapaT-rahith chhe
Kaam-krodh nivaarya re
BhaNe Narsaiyyo thenun dharshan kartha
KuL eko ther thaarya re (Vaishnava)
English Translation
One who is a Vaishnav / Brahmana
Knows the pain of others
Does good to others
without letting pride enter his mind.
A Vaishnava / Brahmana, Tolerates and praises the the entire world.
Does not speak ill of others
Keeps his promises, actions and thoughts pure
your mother is blessed indeed.
A Vaishnava / Brahmana see all equally, renounce greed and avarice,
Respect other woman as they respect their own mother,
Their tongue never utters false words,
Their hands would never touch the wealth of another.
A Vaishnav / Brahmana do not succumb to worldly attachments,
They are detached from worldly pleasures,
They are enticed by the name of God (Shri Ram),
All holy sites of pilgrimage are embodied within them.
A Vaishnav / Brahmana encompasses the absence of greed and deceit,
They have renounced all types of lust and anger,
The author of this poem (Narsi) would be grateful to meet such a soul,
Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.
