    Vaishnava jan tho, A Hindu devotional Song

    Vaishnava jan tho is a very popular Hindu devotional song. Mahatma Gandhiji was very fond of
    this song. It was composed by the poet-saint Narsingh Mehta in the 15th century in Gujarati
    (language of the Northwestern Indian state of Gujarat) but can be understood by people who
    know Hindi. I have given below both the lyrics and lyrics with its meaning in English.

    Lyrics-only with cue for reciting

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray,

    (Music and vocalization)

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray, | 2 times

    Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye, Manu abhimaan na aaNe ray,

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray,

    (Music)

    SakaLa lok maan sahune vande, Nindaa na kare keni ray, | 2 times

    Vaach kaachh man nishchaL raakhe, dhan-dhan janani teni ray,

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray,

    (Music vocalization)

    Sams-drishti ne trishna tyaagi, Para-stree jene maath ray, | 2 times

    Jivha thaki asatya na bolay, Par-dhan nav jhaalee haath ray,

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray,

    (Music and vocalization)

    Moh-maaya vyaape nahi jene, DruDh vairaagya jeyna man maan ray, | 2 times

    Ram naam shoon taaLi laagi, SakaL tirath tena tan maan ray,

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray,

    (Music)

    VaN-lobhi ney kapaT-rahit chhe, Kaam-krodh nivaarya ray, | 2 times

    BhaNe Narsaiyyo tenun darshan karta, KuL ekoter taarya ray,

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe ray,

    Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye, Manu abhimaan na aaNe ray.

    Lyrics with meaning in English

    Vaishnava jan tho, tene kahiye je, PeeD paraayi jaaNe re,

    [A Vaishnava (Hindu) is one who knows the pain of others]

    Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye, Man abhimaan na aaNe re,

    [Who does good to those who are in misery and does not let pride enter his mind]

    Vaishnava jan tho …

    SakaL lok maan sahune vande, Nindaa na kare keni re,

    [He tolerates and praises the entire world, and doesn’t say bad things about
    anyone]

    Vaach kaachh man nishchaL raakhe, dhan-dhan janani teni re,

    [One who keeps his/her words, and actions and thoughts pure, blessed is the
    mother who begets such a one]

    Vaishnava jan tho …

    Sam-drishti ne trishna tyaagi, Par-stree jene maat re,

    [He sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice, and having rid himself of
    lust, he treats and reveres every woman as his mother]

    Jivha thaki asatya na bole, Par-dhan nav jhaalee haath re,

    [His tongue may get tired, but will never speak lies and not even touch someone
    else's property]

    Vaishnava jan tho …

    Moh-maaya vyaape nahi jene, DriDh vairaagya jena man maan re

    [He does not succumb to worldly attachments and his mind is deeply rooted in
    renunciation]

    Ram naam shoon taaLi laagi, SakaL tirath tena tan maan re,
    Dr. Thayumanasamy Somasundaram Page 3 11/6/2009

    [Every moment he is intent on reciting the name of the Lord Rama. All the holy
    places are ever present in his body]

    Vaishnava jan tho …

    VaN-lobhi ne kapaT-rahit chhe, Kaam-krodh nivaarya re,

    [Who has no greed and deceit, and has renounced lust and anger]

    BhaNe Narsaiyyo tenun darshan karta, KuL ekoter taarya re,

    [The poet Narsi will like to see such a person, with who's virtue, the entire family
    gets salvation]

    Vaishnava jan tho …

    Concluding prayer:

    பா லு ம் ெத ளி ேத னு ம் பா கு ம் ப ரு ப் பு மி ைவ

    நா லு ம் க ல ந் து ன க் கு நா ன் த ரு ேவ ன் - ேகா ல ம் ெச ய்
