Mere Tho Giridhara Gopala - By Sant Meera Bai

[Amritha Varshini]

“Mere Tho Giridhara Gopala” - By Sant Meera Bai

Mere Tho Giridhara Gopaala Dusro Na Koi

For me there is none and nothing else other than Giridhara Gopal

Jaake Shira Mora Mukuta Mero Pathi Soi

The one who wears the crown decorated with peacock feathers

Shanka Chakra Gadha Padma Kanta Maala Soi

The conch, the discus, the mace and the lotus flower all beautifully decorated

Thaatha Maatha Bhraatha Bandhu Aapano Na Koi

I do not have any relations like father, mother, brother and friend except you Oh Giridhara Gopala.

Chaanda Dayi Kulaki Kaana Kyaakaraika Koi

I have searched the world and found nothing worthy of love. Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolk and an exile from their company.

Santhana Sanga Baitha Baitha Lokalaaja Koi

I seek the companionship of holymen where alone do I feel happy.

Asuvana Jala Seencha Seencha Prema Peli Boi

I am nurturing the creeper of Love by the waters of my tears. Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling.

Meera Prabhu Lagana Lagi Honi Hosa Hoyi

Now Meera is absorbed and immersed in contemplation of Giridhara, so let whatever might happen.
