loke bole mīrā pāgalinī rāṇā kohe kula-kalāṅkinī mīrā kohe prabhu giridhārī (mīrā) āśā pathe royeche chāhiyā go giridhārī tomāro lāgiyā
Word for word
loke bole—the people say; mīrā pāgalinī—Mīrā is mad; rāṇā kohe—the King says; kula-kalāṅkinī—she is a disgrace to her family; mīrā kohe—Mīrā says; prabhu giridhārī—O Lord Giridhārī!; āśā—the desire; pathe royeche—remaining on the footpath; chāhiyā—I wish; go—Oh!
Translation

People say, "Mīrā has become a madwoman." The king says, "She has disgraced her family." But Mīrā says, "O Lord Giridhārī, my only desire is to remain at Your lotus feet."

dekhā dāo prabhujī prabhujī mīrā kāṅde tomāro lāgiyā kāṅdāiyo nā abhāgire rākho more aṅge miśāya go giridhārī tomāro lāgiyā
Word for word
dekhā dāo—show Your vision; prabhujī prabhujī—O Lord, O Lord!; mīrā kāṅde—Mīrā cries; tomāro lāgiyā—for Your sake; kāṅdāiyo nā—not causing me to weep; abhāgire—to this unfortunate person; rākho more—please keep me; aṅge miśāya—as if united with Your body; go—Oh!
Translation

O Prabhujī! Kindly reveal Yourself to me! Mīrā 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.
giridhārī tomāro prāṇ mīrār
giridhārī tomāro lāgiyā

O Giridhārī, You are the life and soul of Mīrā!v*
