Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the One shows me kindness, what power does the world's judgment have over me anymore?
The label of my rank was wiped clean away, and I walked straight into the One's own court.
The social heart of the shabad — maytee jaat hoo-ay darbaar, caste erased, I stand in the divine court. Ravidas states plainly what the world denied him: before the One, the ranking that shut so many doors simply dissolves, and the lowest-born walks into the highest hall. Hamraa kahaa karai sansaar — once the One is with you, the world's contempt loses all its power. This caste-leveling is carried at full strength; it is the saint's own hard-won dignity.
Have you ever seen someone treated as less who was really every bit as worthy?
