This composition by Bhagat Ravidas is in Rag Gauri Bairagan, a musical mode sung in the morning. It is a rag (musical measure) of sadness, separation, and longing. Bhagat Ravidas uses the trader as a metaphor and says, “I am a trader of the Charmer-Divine. Now everything is flowing naturally within me. I have now acquired the wealth of Nam-divine virtues while the worldly people have acquired and live with the poisons.”
