Maitri Bhävanä Meaning
Maitri Bhävanu Pavitra Jharanu, Muj Haiya Mä Vahya Kare, Shubha Thão A Sakal Vishava Nu, Evi Bhavana Nitya Rahe. May the sacred stream of amity flow forever in my heart
May the universe prosper, such is my cherished desire Guna Thi Bharelä Gunijana Dekhi, Haiyu Märu Nrutya Kare, E Santo Na Charan Kamal Mä, Muj Jivan Nu Ardhya Rahe. May my heart sing in ecstasy at the sight of the virtuous
May my life be an offering at their feet Din Krur Ne Dharma Vihona, Dekhi Dil Mä Dard Rahe,
Karunä Bhini Ankho Mäthi, Ashruno Shubh Shrot Vahe. May my heart bleed at the sight of the wretched, cruel and the poor
May tears of compassion flow from my eyes Märg Bhulela Jivan Pathik Ne, Märg Chindhava Ubho Rahu,
Kare Upeksha E Marag Ni, To Ye Samatä Chitt Dharu. May I always be there to show the path to the pathless wanderers of life
But if they should not hearken to me may I bide patiently Chitrbhanu Ni Dharma Bhävanä, Haiye Sau Mänav Läve,
Ver Jher Nä Päp Tajine, Mangal Geeto E Gäve.
May the spirit of goodwill enter into all our hearts May we all sing together the immortal song of brotherhood
