He Ri Main To Prema Divani
(Refrain) he rī maiṅ to prema dīvānī,
merā dard na jāne koya
(Refrain:) Oh oh! I'm love-crazy. No one knows my pain.
sūlī ūpara seja hamārī,
kisa bidha sonā hoya gagana maṇḍala pai seja piyā kī,
kisa bidha milana hoya
My bed is over the gallows. How could I sleep? My lover's bed is in heaven's mandala. How could I get to him?
ghāyala kī gati ghāyala jānai,
kī jina lāī hoya jauhar kī gati jauhar jānai,
kī jina jauhar hoya
The one who is wounded knows what a wound means, what it means to be burned. The jeweler knows what it means to be a jeweler, what it means to have a jewel.
dard kī mārī bana bana ḍolūm baida milā nahim koya
mīrā kī prabhu pīra miṭaigī jaba baida sāṅvaliyā hoya
Afflicted by pain, I wander from forest to forest. I cannot get a doctor O Lord, Mira's torment will be wiped out when the doctor is the Dark Lover.
