Tuma Vina Meri

1

(refrain) tuma vina
merī kaun khabarale govardhana
giridhāri

Refrain: Who but You would care for me, O lifter of Govardhana Hill?

2

mora
mukuṭa pītāmbara sohe kuṇḍala
kī chavī nyārī

Your peacock-crown, yellow pitambara, and ear-rings dazzle in a splendorous way.

3

bharī
sabhā meṅ draupadī ṭhāḍhī rākho
lāj hamārī mīrā
ke prabhu giridhara nāgara caraṇa
kamal balihārī

O Lord, just as your protected Draupadi while she was being disrobed in public, please protect me in the same way. Mira Bai is an offering to the Lotus Feet of the Lord, the courtly Giridhara.
