Ami Pathe Pathe Ghuri Bhikhāriṇī
41. Rāj-Rāṇī Mīrā — By Mīrā Bhāi
(āmi) pathe pathe ghuri bhikhāriṇī
hari nām bhikhā māgiyā go
giridhārī tomāro lāgiyā
अर्थ
I wander here and there like a mendicant, but I seek only the alms of Your holy name.
loke bole mīrā pāgalinī
rāṇā kohe kula-kalāṅkinī
mīrā kohe prabhu giridhārī
(mīrā) āśā pathe royeche chāhiyā go
giridhārī tomāro lāgiyā
अर्थ
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
अर्थ
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
giridhārī—O Lord; tomāro—You; prāṇ mīrār—the life of Mīrā.
O Giridhārī, You are the life and soul of Mīrā!v*
