In plain words
You are my Meru, my mountain, Master; I have taken hold of your shelter. You never sway, and so I never fall. Hari, you have kept me. Now, then, when, whenever: you alone, you alone. By your grace I am at ease for ever. *(refrain)* Trusting you I went and lived in Magahar, and the fever of my body was put out. In Magahar I first had the darśan; only later did I come and live in Kāśī. As Magahar is, so is Kāśī: I have known the two as one. I had nothing, and then I came upon this wealth. The proud burst and die. Whoever grows proud, a thorn goes into him, and there is nobody to draw it out. Even now they whimper at the prick of it, and in a hell of horrors they are consumed. What is hell, and what is this poor heaven? The saints have refused them both. I am under nobody's obligation, by the grace of my own Guru. Now I have gone up and taken the throne, and I have met Sāriṅgpānī. Rām and Kabīr have become one, and nobody can tell them apart. *Magahar* and *Kāśī*: the one a town where dying was said to win nothing, the other a city where dying was said to win everything.
