Only He Knows The Bitterness Of Love Poem by Mirabai

Only He Knows The Bitterness Of Love

Rating: 5.0


Only he knows the bitterness of love

Who has deeply felt its pangs.

When you are in trouble

No one comes near you:

When fortune smiles.

All come to share the joy.

Love shows no external wound.

But the pain pervades every pore

Devotee Mira offers her body

As a sacrifice to Giridhara for ever.

[Translated by A.J. Alston]
