Mirabai
Poetry

A number of compositions by Meera Bai continue to be sung today in India, mostly as devotional songs (bhajans) towards Krishna, though nearly all of them have a philosophical connotation. Her poems describe her love, salutation, and separation from Krishna, and her dissatisfaction with the world. One of her most popular compositions remains " Payoji maine Ram Ratan dhan payo " (पायो जी मैंने राम रतन धन पायो।, "I have been given the richness of God's name blessing"). Meera's poems are lyrical padas (metric verses) in the Rajasthani language. Several meters are used within her padas, but the most common meter found is mātric (syllabic) poetic line. Rāgas or melodies are attributed to these padas, allowing them to be sung. While thousands of verses are attributed to her, scholars are divided as to how many of them were actually penned by Meera herself. There are no surviving manuscripts of her poetry from her time, and the earliest records with two poems credited to her are from the early 18th century, more than 150 years after her legendary disappearance in 1547.
