Mira Bai

Today is Mira Bai Jayanti. Here is one of her celebrated poems  for Sri Krishna).
(Giridhar is another name of Bhagwan Sri Krishna)

मेरे तो गिरिधर गोपाल दूसरो न कोई।
Mere tho giridhar gopal doosro na koi
There is none other than Giridhar Gopal for me

जाके सिर मोर मुकुट मेरो पति सोई।
Jaake sar mor mukut mero pati soi
Who wears the peacock feather on his turban, my husband

तात मात भ्रात बंधु आपनो न कोई॥।
taat maat brat bandhu aapno na koi
All other relationships like father, mother, brother, friends, none for me (but my husband, Giridhar Gopal)

छाँड़ि दी कुल की कानि कहा करिहै कोई।
chaandi lai kul ki kaani kaha karilai koi
.......? What can anyone do about it

संतन ढिंग बैठि-बैठि लोक लाज खोई॥
Santan dhing baiti bhaiti lok laaj khoi
The wise .... sit in bliss lost to all worldly ways

चुनरी के किये टूक ओढ़ लीन्ही लोई।
Chunari ke kini took audh linhi loi
I want not my scarf, but you

मोती मूँगे उतार बनमाला पोई॥
Moti moonge uthar banmala poi
Nor the pearl and coral necklace but your garland of wild flowers

अँसुवन जल सींचि सींचि प्रेम बेलि बोई।
Asuvan jal seenchi seenchi prem beli boi
The waters of my tears weave a wreath of love

अब तो बेल फैल गई आणँद फल होई॥
Ab tho bel pheli gayi aanand phal hoi
Now that wreath has borne the fruit of joy

दूध की मथनियाँ बड़े प्रेम से बिलोई।
dood ki mathaniya bade prem se biloi
Churning the milk with love

माखन जब काढ़ि लियो छाछा पिये कोई॥
maakhan jab khadiliyo chaach piye koi
You do get the butter and someone else gets to drink the buttermilk

भगत देख राजी हुई जगत देखि रोई।
Bhakt dekh raaji hui jagat dekhi roi
The devotee sees this and is willing while the world is upset

दासी “मीरा” लाल गिरिधर तारो अब मोही॥
Daasi meera laal giridhar taro ab mohi
Your servant, Meera, oh beloved Giridhar, you are MINE, now!!!
