Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGCHDIJAK LAMNKAAO PQRBSDAENothing is really mine except Krishna | A |
O my parents I have searched the world | B |
And found nothing worthy of love | C |
Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolk | D |
And an exile from their company | E |
Since I seek the companionship of holy men | F |
There alone do I feel happy | E |
In the world I only weep | G |
I planted the creeper of love | C |
And silently watered it with my tears | H |
Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling | D |
You offered me a cup of poison | I |
Which I drank with joy | J |
Mira is absorbed in contemplation of Krishna | A |
She is with God and all is well | K |

O my King my father nothing delights me more | L |
Than singing the praises of Krishna | A |
If thou art wrath | M |
then keep thy kingdom and thy palace | N |
For if God is angry where can I dwell | K |
Thou didst send me a cup of poison and a black cobra | A |
Yet in all I saw only Krishna | A |
Mira is drunk with love and is wedded to the Lord | O |

The heart of Mira is entangled | P |
In the beauty of the feet of her Guru | Q |
Nothing else causes her delight | R |
He enabled her to be happy in the drama of the world | B |
The Knowledge he gave her dried up | S |
The ocean of being and becoming | D |
Mira says My whole world is Shri Krishna | A |
Now that my gaze is turned inward I see it clearly | E |
