Mine, mine is Girdhar Gopal: 'tis He, none else, He only

Mine, mine is Girdhar Gopal: 'tis He, none else, He only.
'Tis He, none else but He, O Sadhus: 'tis He, none else, He only.

Love as churning staff I fashioned: with devotion twirled it.
The butter, butter I have taken: drink, who will, the leavings.

Tears for water I have sprinkled on Love's vine, I planted.
Now the vine has spread its leafage: Bliss will be its fruiting.

With the Sants I took my station, the world's reproaches slighted:
Customs of my kin resigned. What indeed can they do?

I for worship's task came hither: worldly sights enthralled me.
Mira is Thy bond slave, Girdhar: draw me now to safety.
