1. Yānīdha bhūtāni samāgatāni,
Whatever beings have gathered here,
Bhummāni vā yāni va antalikkhe;
on the ground or in the sky,
Sabbeva bhūtā sumanā bhavantu,
may beings all be of happy heart,
Athopi sakkacca suṇantu bhāsitaṁ
and listen carefully to what is said.

2.Tasmā hi bhūtā nisāmetha sabbe,
So pay heed, all you beings,
Mettaṁ karotha mānusiyā pajāya;
have loving-kindness for humankind,
Divā ca ratto ca haranti ye baliṁ,
who day and night bring offerings;
Tasmā hi ne rakkhatha appamattā.
please protect them diligently.
