Bhagat Ravidas Ji

You are me, and I am You-what is the difference between us?

We are like gold and the bracelet, or water and the waves.

If I did not commit any sins, O Infinite Lord,

how would You have acquired the name, 'Redeemer of sinners'? ||1||Pause

You are my Master, the Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts.

The servant is known by his God, and the Lord and Master is known by His servant.

Grant me the wisdom to worship and adore You with my body.

O Ravi Daas, one who understands that the Lord is equally in all, is very rare.

The company I keep is wretched and low, and I am anxious day and night;

my actions are crooked, and I am of lowly birth.

O Lord, Master of the earth, Life of the soul,

please do not forget me! I am Your humble servant. ||1||Pause

Take away my pains, and bless Your humble servant with Your Sublime Love.

I shall not leave Your Feet, even though my body may perish.

Says Ravi Daas, I seek the protection of Your Sanctuary;

please, meet Your humble servant - do not delay! ||3

Baygumpura, 'the city without sorrow', is the name of the town.

There are no troubles or taxes on commodities there.

There is no fear, blemish or downfall there.

Now, I have found this most excellent city.
