LUSIEUR
मैत्री-भावना मैत्री भावनुं पवित्र झरणु, मज हैयामां वह्या करे; शुभ थाओ आ सकल विश्वनु, अवी भावना नित्य रहे ।।१।। गुणथी भरेला गुणीजन देखी, हैजु मारूं नृत्य करे; ओ संतोना चरणकमलमां, मुज जीवननो अर्घ्य रहे ॥२।। दीन, क्रूर ते धर्मविहीणा, देखी दिलमां दर्द रहे ; करुणाभीनी आंखोमांथी, अश्रुनो शुभ श्रोत वहे ।।३।। मार्ग भलेला जीवन पथिकने, मार्ग चींधवा ऊभो रहं; करे ऊपेक्षा मारगनी, तो ये समता चित्त धरुं ।।४।। चंद्रप्रभुजी धर्म भावना, हैये सोना नवलावे ; वेरझरना पाप तजीने, मंगल गीतो गावे ।।५।।
THE IMMORTAL SONG
1.
May the sacred stream of amity flow forever in my heart May the universe prosper, such is my cherished desire.
2.
May my heart sing with ecstasy at the sight of the virtuous, And may my life be an offering at their feet.
3.
May my heart bleed at the sight of the wretched, the cruel, the irreligious, And my tears of compassion flow from my eyes.
May I always be there to show the path to the pathless wanderers of life, Yet if they should not hearken to me, May I bide in patience.
5.
May the spirit of goodwill enter all our hearts, May we all sing in chorus the immortal song of human concord.
In sweet memory of Amrutlal Punjalal Shah, father of Praful Shah
