वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिये जे पीड परायी जाणे रे।
पर दुःखे उपकार करे तो ये मन अभिमान न आणे रे॥
(A godman is one who,
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,But never let ego or conceit enter their mind)
सकळ लोकमां सहुने वंदे, निंदा न करे केनी रे।
वाच काछ मन निश्चळ राखे, धन धन जननी तेनी रे॥
( A person who respect the entire world,
Do not censure anyone,
Keep their words, actions and thoughts pure,The mother of such a soul is blessed)
समदृष्टि ने तृष्णा त्यागी, परस्त्री जेने मात रे।
जिह्वा थकी असत्य न बोले, परधन नव झाले हाथ रे॥
(A person who see all equally, renounce greed and avarice,
Respect women as they respect their own mother,
Their tongue never utters false words,Their hands would never touch the wealth of another)
मोह माया व्यापे नहि जेने, दृढ़ वैराग्य जेना मनमां रे।
रामनाम शुं ताळी रे लागी, सकळ तीरथ तेना तनमां रे॥
(A person who 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.)
वणलोभी ने कपटरहित छे, काम क्रोध निवार्या रे।
भणे नरसैयॊ तेनुं दरसन करतां, कुळ एकोतेर तार्या रे॥
(A person 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.)
