Mirabai Mirabai

I am mad with
And no one understands my plight
Only the
Understand the agonies of the wounded,

This infamy,
O my Prince,is delicious
Some revile me,others applaud,
I simply follow my incomprehensible road

We do not get a human
Just for the asking
Birth in a human
Is the reward for good

Mira danced with ankle-bells on her feet
People said Mira was mad; my mother-in-law said I ruined the family reputation
Rana sent me a cup of poison and Mira drank it laughing
I dedicated my body and soul at the feet of Hari

We do not get a human
Just for the asking
Birth in a human
Is the reward for good

Do not leave me alone, a helpless woman
My strength, my crown,
I am empty of virtues,
You, the ocean of them

The rainy season is
And the skirt of my dress is wet
You have gone off to distant lands,
And my heart finds it unbearable
