Meera Bhajan

जो तुम तोड़ो पिया मैं नाहि तोड़ूं ।
तोसों प्रीत तोड़ कृष्ण ! कौन संग जोड़ूं ।।
If you want to break the bond of love that subsists between you and me,
you may do it at Thine sweet will, but I on my part shall never adhere to it.
तुम भयो तरुवर मैं भई पन्खिया ।
तुम भये सरवर मैं तेरी मछिया ।।

O Krishna, You are like the tree on which I like a bird take shelter,
or again, You are like the water in which I live like a fish.

तुम भये गिरिवर मैं भई चारा ।
तुम भये चन्दा मैं भई चकोरा ।।

You are like the hillock on which I dance like the peacock,
You are like the full moon which I circumambulate like the chakor.

तुम भये मोती प्रभु हम भये धागा ।
तुम भये सोना हम भैये सुहागा ।।

You are like the pearl which shines bright on the thread which I am,
Thou art the gold, and I like the powder with which it is polished.

मीरा कहे प्रभु ब्रज के बासी ।
तुम मेरे ठाकुर मैं तेरी दासी ।।

O Ye dweller of Brija, I offer my obeisance to thee,
O my master and Paramount Lord, so says Mirabai.
