Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je
PeeD paraayi jaaNe re
Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye
Man abhimaan na aaNe re
Vaishnav...

        Sam-drishti ne trishna tyaagi
        Par-stree jene maat re
        Jivha thaki asatya na bole
        Par-dhan nav jhaalee haath re
        Vaishnav...

        Moh-maaya vyaape nahi jene
        DriDh vairaagya jena man maan re
        Ram naam shoon taaLi laagi
        SakaL tirath tena tan maan re
        Vaishnav...

        VaN-lobhi ne kapaT-rahit chhe
        Kaam-krodh nivaarya re
        BhaNe Narsaiyyo tenun darshan karta
        KuL ekoter taarya re
        Vaishnav...
