MERI BHAWNA I 16
Gunee Jano(n) Ko Dekh Hridaya Mei(n) Mere Prem Umad Aave;
Bane Jaha(n) Tak Unkee Seva Karke Yeh Man Sukh Pave.
Ho-oo(n) Nahee(n) Kritaghna Kabhee Mai(n) Droh Na Mere Ur Aave;
Guna-Grahan Ka Bhav Rahe Nit Drishti Na Dosho(n) Par Jave.
May my heart ever overflow with love At the sight of virtuous men; May this mind (of mine) rejoice always In serving them to the utmost of its power; May I be never ungrateful; May jealousy never approach me, May my longing be always for Assimilating the virtues of others; and May the eye never alight on their faults!
