Longing!

5.

Govind! The embodiment of bliss,

please visit me. 

O' willful rake, please come!

My friends laugh at me, you must

show me your glimpse.

I have adorned myself, but 

without you there is nothing but sadness.

Only one who's hurt knows the pain

For others it's jest.

The cuckoo on the mango tree

is singing sad songs.

I feel like renouncing all

and heading towards Kashi.

I wonder what that day 

would be like,

when I'll see my Lord !

O Meera's Lord! 

When will you come?

That night I'll sleep blissfully!

6.

How can I meet you, my Sanvra!

I got this human birth,

but without your devotion it's a waste.

Eight hours go in earning a living 

and the rest are lost by sleeping.

In this moonlit night, the stars are fading away, making the

night ever shorter!

If I'd known that Hari is coming,

I would've opened my doors.

I'll let my hair loose and let

them grow in knots

Meerabai's lord Giridhar Nagar

Your praises I'll sing at

every door.

 

7.

O mother! Hari doesn't care for me!

Why this life doesn't end!

He neither sees me nor talks to me !

How can I be happy like this?

Eons have gone by without 

talking to Him!

He comes only in my dreams

and when I wake up

He disappears!

This makes me cry.

I curse myself for not being awake.

I spend long, lonely nights

counting stars.

I wish to cut my throat 

as every moment

it seems that he is soon going 

to come, but does not!

Endless wait!!

8.
O' mother! My eyes have got this habit!

The day I don't see Shyam, 

That day seems too long!

His dark face is lodged in my mind

He doesn't leave my heart.

Meera is sold to her Hari 

All her worldly tasks are done!
