Main To Sanvre Ke Rang Rachi — Meerabai — full lyrics and bhavarth (meaning)
'Main To Sanvre Ke Rang Rachi' is a composition of Meerabai. Meera says she is dyed in the colour of the dark one (Shyam). Adorned, with ghungroos on her feet, she danced, leaving aside the shame of society; her ill sense left her, and in the company of saints she became a true devotee. Singing Hari's virtues day and night, she escaped the serpent of death — without the Lord the whole world tastes bitter to her.
A composition of Meerabai. All sant bhajans.

Main to sanvre ke rang rachi ।
Saji singar bandhi pag ghunghru, lok-laj taji nachi ॥
Gai kumti, lai sadhu ki sangti, bhagat rup bhai sanchi ।
Gay gay hari ke gun nisdin, kal byal sun banchi ॥
Un bin sab jag kharo lagat, aur bat sab kanchi ।
Mira shri giradhran lal sun, bhagti rasili janchi ॥
