dear bhaagavatas,

FOURTH POEM

***********

 

he rî maim to prema dîvânî, merâ dard na jâne koya

sûlî ûpara seja hamârî, kisa bidha sonâ hoya

gagana maNDala pai seja piyâ kî, kisa bidha milana

hoya

ghâyala kî gati ghâyala jânai, kî jina lâî hoya

jauhar kî gati jauhar jânai, kî jina jauhar hoya

dard kî mârî bana bana Dolûm baida milâ nahim koya

mîrâ kî prabhu pîra miTaigî jaba baida sâmvaliyâ hoya

 

Oh oh! I'm love-crazy. No one knows my pain.

My bed is over the gallows. How could I sleep?

My lover's bed is in heaven's mandala. How could I get

to him?

The one who is wounded knows what a wound means, what

it means to be burned.

The jeweler knows what it means to be a jeweler, what

it means to have a jewel.

Afflicted by pain, I wander from forest to forest.

Can't get a doctor.

O Lord, Mira's torment will be wiped out when the

doctor is the Dark Lover.

 

 

FIFTH POEM

**********

 

mere to giridhara gupâla, dûsarâ na koî

jâ ke sira mora mukuTa, mero pati soî

tâta, mâta, bhrâta, bandhu, apanâ nahim koî

châRa daî, kula kî kâna, kyâ karegâ koî

santana Dhiga baiThi baiThi, loka lâja khoî

cunarî ke kiyâ Tûka Tûka, oRha lînaha loî

motî mûnge utâra bana mâlâ poî

ansuvana jala sîñci prema beli boî

aba to beli phaila gaî, nanda phala hoî

dûdha kî mathaniyâ baRe prema se biloî

mâkhana jaba kâRhi liyo, châcha piye koî

âî maim bhakti kâja, jagat dekha roî

dâsî mîrâ giridhara premu târe aba moî

 

Mine is Gopal, the Mountain-Holder; there is no one

else.

On his head he wears the peacock-crown: He alone is my

husband.

Father, mother, brother, relative: I have none to call

my own.

I've forsaken both God, and the family's honor: what

should I do?

I've sat near the holy ones, and I've lost shame

before the people.

I've torn my scarf into shreds; I'm all wrapped up in

a blanket.

I took off my finery of pearls and coral, and strung a

garland of wildwood flowers.

With my tears, I watered the creeper of love that I

planted;

Now the creeper has grown spread all over, and borne

the fruit of bliss.

The churner of the milk churned with great love.

When I took out the butter, no need to drink any

buttermilk.

I came for the sake of love-devotion; seeing the

world, I wept.

Mira is the maidservant of the Mountain-Holder: now

with love He takes me across to the further shore.
