I took off all clothes - Mira

Original in Hindi:
sîla santoSha kî kesara gholî
prema prîti picakâra
uRata gulâla, lâla bhaye bâdala
barsata rang apâra
ghaTa ke saba paTa khola diye haim
loka lâja saba Dâra
mîrâ ke prabhu giradhara nâgara
caraNa kamala balihâra

~Mira

My rendering:

Virtue and happiness I mixed
Together in the saffron colored waters,
I pumped them in the water-gun
Of love and affection,
Flying pink fountains made
The clouds red in color,
They rained in many colors.
I took off all clothes
From my worldly body,
I threw away all worldly shame.
Mira’s lord is that charming
Holder of mountains,
She sacrifices herself at his lotus-feet.
