Ravidas – from the Adi Granth 33
[extracted from Songs of the Saints of India – translated by Professor John Stratton Hawley and Professor Mark Juergensmeyer]
Who could long for anything but you?
My master, you are merciful to the poor;
you have shielded my head with a regal parasol.
Someone whose touch offends the world
you have enveloped with yourself.
It is the lowly my Govind makes high -
he does not fear anyone at all -
And he has exalted Namdev and Kabir
Trilocan, Sadhna and Sen.
Listen saints, says Ravidas
Hari accomplishes everything.
