O God, Let my soul ever diffuse
Goodwill for all living beings, Delight for those that are virtuous,
Compassion for the afflicted ones And indifference towards the ill behaved.

O Lord, I wish to have feelings of friendship for all beings,
Delightful respect for the virtuous ones,
Utmost compassion for the afflicted beings And equanimity towards those whose views are contrary to mine.

Let blessings go forth unto the entire universe!
May everyone rise above self interest through feeling of genuine concern
for the well being of all! May the mental veils, which cloud our heart be completely removed from our consciousness!
Everywhere let everyone live in peace and contentment,
in health and happiness, in abundant reverence for life!
