From Lebanon to India - A tribute to Mahatma Gandhi (with Arabic subtitles)

A beautiful rendering of 'Vaishnav Jan To....' by renowned Lebanese singer Abeer Nehme - a collaboration with Embassy of India, Beirut to celebrate 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je PeeD paraayi jaaNe re Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye Man abhimaan na aaNe re Vaishnav... A good human being is one Who feels the pain of others One who helps those in misery And does not let pride enter his/her mind Sakal lok maan sahune vande Nindaa na kare keni re Vaach kaachh man nishchal raakhe Dhan-dhan janani teni re Vaishnav... A good human being tolerates and praises the entire world And does not say bad things about anyone Keeps his/her words, actions and thoughts pure (To such a person) Your mother is blessed! Sam-drishti ne trishna tyaagi Par-stree jene maat re Jivha thaki asatya na bole Par-dhan nav jhaalee haath re Vaishnav... A good human being sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice Considers someone else's wife/daughter as his mother The tongue may get tired, but will never utter lies And will never even touch someone else's property Moh-maaya vyaape nahi jene Dridh vairaagya jena man maan re Ram naam shoon taaLi laagi Sakal tirath tena tan maan re Vaishnav... A good human being does not succumb to worldly attachments Who has become staunchly detached from worldly pleasures Who has been addicted to the elixir coming from the name of Ram For whom all the religious sites are in the mind Van-lobhi ne kapat-rahit chhe Kaam-krodh nivaarya re Bhane Narsaiyyo tenun darshan karta Kul ekoter taarya re Vaishnav... Who has no greed and deceit Who has renounced all types of desires and anger The poet Narsi would like to see such a person Whose virtue brings salvation to the entire family
