Below is the lyrics of the Bhajan Vaishnav Jana te

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re,

Para Duhkhe Upakāra Kare To Ye

Mana Abhimāna Na Āne Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

Sakala Loka Mā Sahune Vande,

Nindā Na Kare Kenī Re,

Vāca Kācha Mana Niścala Rākhe,

Dhana Dhana Jananī Tenī Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

Sama-Drishthi Ne Trishnā Tyāgī,

Para-Strī Jene Māta Re,

Jihvā Thakī Asatya Na Bole,

Para-Dhana Nava Jhāle Hātha Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

Moha Māyā Vyāpe Nahi Jene,

Dridha-Vairāgya Jenā Manamā Re,

Rāma-Nāma Śhu Tālī Re Lāgī,

Sakala Tīratha Tenā Tanamā Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

Vana-Lobhī Ne Kapata-Rahita Chhe,

Kāma Krodha Nivāryā Re,

Bhane Narasaiyo Tenu Darasana Karatā,

Kula Ekotera Tāryā Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re
