- Verse 1
ab to hari nām dhun lo lāgī, sādho! saba jaga bolata mākhan corā, nām dharo vairāgī!
ab to hari nam dhun lo lagi, sadho! saba jaga bolata makhan cora, nam dharo vairagi!
अब तो हरि नाम धुन लो लागी, साधो! सब जग बोलत माखन चोरा, नाम धरो वैरागी!
O pious souls! Now, my consciousness is absorbed into the chanting of the Names of my Hari! The entire world addresses Him as the Butter Thief. But now, He has become a monk who given up the world (vairagi).
- Verse 2
kaha chāḍi vahu mohan murali? kaha chāḍi saba gopī? mora mundāyi gora kati bandhī, māne na mānī gopī!
kaha chadi vahu mohan murali? kaha chadi saba gopi? mora mundayi gora kati bandhi, mane na mani gopi!
कह छाडि वहु मोहन मुरलि? कह छाडि सब गोपी? मोर मुन्दायि गोर कति बन्धी, माने न मानी गोपी!
O my dearest Mohana (Enchanter, Krsna)! Why have You discarded Your intimate companion, the Divine Flute? And why have You renounced all the cowherd girls? You appear now with shaven head and saffron cloth at Your waist! But this clever cowherd girl uncovers Your disguise and doesn't care to conceal it!
- Verse 3
māta yasomati mākhan coran bāndhi jāki bāha, śyāma kiśor bhaye nava gorā, caitanya jāko nām!
mata yasomati makhan coran bandhi jaki baha, syama kisor bhaye nava gora, caitanya jako nam!
मात यसोमति माखन चोरन बान्धि जाकि बाह, श्याम किशोर भये नव गोरा, चैतन्य जाको नाम्!
Now, it seems like Mother Yasoda has tied up the both arms of Butter Thief! My Dark Beloved has now reappeared as the newly fresh Golden Lord whose name is 'Caitanya'!
- Verse 4
pitāmbar ko bhāva dikhāvai, kaṭi kaupīna base, gore kṛṣṇa ki dāsi mīrā, jasa na kṛṣṇa bane na bane! ab to hari nām dhun lo lāgī!
pitambar ko bhava dikhavai, kati kaupina base, gore krsna ki dasi mira, jasa na krsna bane na bane! ab to hari nam dhun lo lagi!
पिताम्बर को भाव दिखावै, कटि कौपीन बसे, गोरे कृष्ण कि दासि मीरा, जस न कृष्ण बने न बने! अब तो हरि नाम धुन लो लागी!
Though clad Himself in torn loincloth, His yellow garnment as well as His inner loving sentiments are revealed to me. Mirabai is the maid-servant of the Golden Krsna (Caitanya), whether the Glory of my Krsna is recognized by all or not!
