Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je PeeD paraayi jaaNe re Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye Man abhimaan na aaNe re Vaishnav... SakaL lok maan sahune vande Nindaa na kare keni re Vaach kaachh man nishchaL raakhe Dhan-dhan janani teni 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...
