I AM PALE WITH LONGING

 

I am pale with longing for my beloved;

People believe I am ill.

Seizing on every possible pretext,

I try to meet Him " by accident. "

 

They have sent for a country doctor;

He grabs my arm and prods it;

How can he diagnose my pain?

It's in my Heart that I am afflicted.

 

Go home, country doctor,

Don't address me by my name;

It's the Name of God that has wounded me,

Don't force your medicines on me.

 

The sweetness of his lips is a pot of nectar,

That's the only curd for which I crave;

Mira's Lord is Giridhar Naagar.

He will feed me nectar again and again.

 

 

MIRABAI
