• on Torn In Shreds by Mirabai, on October 7, 2006

  I translated this poem years ago and put it on an obscure web site; someone found it and posted it here. I found Old Poetry through a search for Mirabai. Would anyone like to read the original Hindi poem? This is in Itrans, so if you have the free Itrans software http://www.aczoom.com/itrans/ you can put this into it to get the text in Devanagari script.
  
  mere to giridhara gupaala, duusaraa na koii |
  jaa ke sira mora mukuTa, mero pati soii ||
  taata, maata, bhraata, baMdhu, apanaa nahiM koii |
  ghaaM.Da daii, kula kii kaana, kyaa karegaa koii?
  saMtana Dhiga baiThi baiThi, loka laaja khoii ||
  chunarii ke kiye Tuuka Tuuka, o.Dha liinha loii |
  motii muu.Nge utaara bana maalaa poii ||
  a.Nsuvana jala siiMchi siiMchi prema beli boii |
  aba to beli phaila gaii, aanaMda phala hoii ||
  duudha kii mathaniyaa, ba.De prema se biloii |
  maakhana jaba kaa.Dhi liyo, ghaagha piye koii ||
  aaii maiM bhakti kaaja, jagata dekha roii |
  daasii miiraa.N giradhara prabhu taare aba moii ||
  
  There's a lovely recording of this poem sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
  
  May Mirabai's poetry inspire in our hearts a taste of the divine love she experienced.
