In plain words
The passes are hard and the hills are many, and the one ox I have is worth nothing. I have one request for Ramaiyā: keep my capital safe, Murāri. Is there a trader of Rām's here? My pack train is loaded and moving off. *(refrain)* I am a trader of Rām's, and my dealing is in *sahaj*. I have loaded the wealth of Rām's name; the world has loaded poison. You who know this shore and the far shore, write down whatever you please. Death's rod will not fall on me; I have let go of every tangle. As the colour of safflower is, so is this world. My Ramaiyā's colour is the colour of madder, says Ravidās the cobbler. *sahaj*, the settled state that comes without effort. *kasumbh* is safflower, whose red is brilliant and quickly gone; *majīṭh* is madder, which never lets go.
