(refrain)

raj-rani mira bhikharini

giridhari tomaro lagiya

 

(1)

(ami) pathe pathe ghuri bhikharini

hari nam bhikha magiya go

 

(2)

loke bole mira pagalini

rana kohe kula kalańkini

mira kohe prabhu giridhari

(mira) asa pathe royeche chahiya go

 

(3)

dekha dao prabhuji prabhuji

mira kańde tomaro lagiya

kańdaiyo na abhagire

rakho more ańge misaya go

 

(4)

giridhari tomaro pran mirar

giridhari tomaro lagiya

1) I simply wander here and there like a mendicant, but I seek only the alms of Your holy name.

2) People say, “Mira has become a madwoman.” The King says, “She has disgraced her family.” But Mira says, “O Lord Giridhari, my only desire is to remain at Your lotus feet.”

3) O Prabhuji! Kindly reveal Yourself to me! Mira simply weeps for You, my Lord. Please don’t make this most unfortunate person cry any more. Please keep me tightly embraced, as if united with Your own body.

4) O Giridhari! You are the life and soul of Mira!
