Begumpura (land without sorrow)
the regal realm with the sorrowless name
they call it begumpura, a place with no pain,
no taxes or cares, none owns property there,
no wrongdoing, worry, terror, or torture.
oh my brother, i've come to take it as my own,
my distant home, where everything is right...
they do this or that, they walk where they wish,
they stroll through fabled palaces unchallenged.
oh, says ravidas, a tanner now set free,
those who walk beside me are my friends.
