rāj-rāṇī mīrā bhikhāriṇī
giridhāri tomāro lāgiyā

giridhāri tomāro prāṇ mirār
giridhāri tomāro lāgiyā

TRANSLATION


Refrain:
The queen Mira is simply a beggar-woman, but only for Your sake, O Giridhari!

1)
I simply wander here and there like a mendicant, but I seek only the alms of Your holy name.

2)
People say, “Mira has become a madwoman.” The King says, “She has disgraced her family.” But
Mira says, “O Lord Giridhari, my only desire is to remain at Your lotus feet.”

3)
O Prabhuji! Kindly reveal Yourself to me! Mira 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.

4)
O Giridhari! You are the life and soul of Mira!
