Mira Bai
Rajput Princess

1498-1547

 barasai badariyaa saavan kii,
saavan kii man bhaavan kii.
saavan me.n umagyo mero manavaa,
bhanak sunii hari aavan kii..
uma.D ghuma.D chahu.n disase aayo,
daamaNa damake jhar laavan kii.
naanhii.n naanhii.n buu.ndan mehaa barasai,
siital pavan sohaavan kii..
miiraa.N ke prabhu giradhar naagar,
aananda ma.ngal gaavan kii..


It is raining in the month of Savan,
I like the rain coming down.
In Savan, my heart starts to pine,
I hear the sound of Hari coming.
The clouds have rolled in from all sides,
lightening occurs and it pours.
Tiny drops come from the clouds,
and I enjoy the cool breeze.
O lord of Mira, called Giradhar Nagar,
The cloudy season is for singing joyfully.



herii mhaa darad divaaNaa.N
mhaaraa darad n jaaNyaa.N koya.
ghaayal rii gat ghaayal jaaNyaa.N
hiba.Do agaN sanjoya..
jauhar kii gat jauharii jaaNai
kyaa jaaNyaa.N jaN khoya.
miiraa.N rii prabhu piir miTaa.Ngaa
jab vaid saa.Nvaro hoya..


I am crazy with pain,
and no one understands it.
Only the wounded knows the pain of the wounded
saving the fire in his heart
Only the jeweller knows the values of the gem,
not the one who lost it.
O lord, Mira's pain will only go
when the Dark One is the healer.
