There is a city named Begampura. Where there is no place for pain and sorrow.
There is no fear of imposing taxes or of tribute (Kharaj). There is no care nor sin, nor dread nor death.
Now I have found an excellent abode, where ceaseless happiness does reign and the sovereignty of God is firm and ever existing.
There is no second or third rate citizen. Every body is equal there.
Inhabited and ever famous is that city.
Its citizens are full dowered with wealth.
They wander there as they please. Nobody restrains them from going hither and thither.
Ravidass, an emancipated tanner says, O my friend! Come and become my fellow citizens of the Begampura.
