Dear One come and bestow
Dear One come and bestow
Thy vision
on me.
Without Thee, 0 Love! I
cannot be.
As the lotus without the
water, as the
night without the moon,
So do I Thy maid. feel
without Thee,
Troubled and distracted,
I move about
night and day long,
While the pangs of
separation gnawe at
the heart.
The days pass without
hunger, and the
nights go without sleep.
When the words do not
come out of the
lips;
What can I ‘then complain
about, without
speech.
Except Ye. O Lord, what
other hope can I
cherish.
Come, soothe this burning
heart.
Come, be kind and meet
me. O my Master.
Mira, Thy maid of ages,
In supplication falls at
Thy feet.
Now You have to protect me.
Now You have to protect me.
For You have accepted me as Thy bride.
The Powerful One, in You I seek my
refuge,
Pray let all my works be accomplished.
Vast is the ocean of the world, beyond
me to negotiate,
You alone are my ship, for me to cross o'er.
Of the supportless, You are the support,
0 Teacher of the World,
And without Your aid every work of the
world is ill-performed.
Through ages the pain of Your devotees,
0 Hari, You have allayed;
And on the world You have conferred
salvation;
Mira seeks shelter in Your lotus feet,
Protect her honour now, 0 Lord.
