(Rag Jaijaivanti)
Sanvare Ki Drishti Mano Prem Ki Katari Hai.
Laagat Bihal Bhi Tanaki Ki Sudhi Gai,
Manahu Mein Vyapyo Prem Bhi Matavari Hai. [1]
Chand Ko Chakor Chahai Deepak Patang Jarai,
Jal Bina Marai Min Aisi Priti Pyari Hai. [2]
Sakhi Mili Doi Chari Suno Ri Sayani Nari,
Unako Haun Nike Janaun Kunj Ko Bihari Hain. [3]
Mor Ka Mukat Mathe Chhabi Giradhari Hain,
Madhuri Murati Par ‘Mira’ Balihari Hai. [4]
- Shri Mira Bai
The glances of the dark Krishna are like a dagger of love. A glance cast at someone once makes the person wander restlessly like an insane, forgetting his body and mind being intoxicated with love. [1]
As if a chakor bird loves the moon and constantly looks at it, as if a moth falls in love with the light of the flame, it ends its life while being burnt up, as if a fish dies if separated from the water. Such a type of love is appreciable. [2]
A few maidens meet and say, listen, O wise woman! He is the one who is worthy of love, His name is Kunj Bihari. [3]
His forehead is adorned with a peacock feather, His sight is beautiful, and He is the upholder of Shri Giriraj mountain. Meera Bai sacrifices Herself upon His sweet glimpses. [4]
