corrections welcome:

Instead of making corrections, I give below the transliteration of the song done by me:-

ghaDI Eka nahin AvaDE tuma darsaNa bina mOya
tuma hO mErE prANajI kAsUn jIvaNa hOya
dhAna na bhAvai nInda na Avai biraha satAvai mOya
ghAyala sI ghUmata phirUn rE mErO darada na jANai kOya
divasa tO khAya gamAyiyO rE raiNa gamAyi sOya
prANa gamAyA jhUratAn rE naina gamAyA rOya
jO main aisI jANatI rE prIta kiyAn dukha hOya
nagara dhandhOrA phEratI rE prIti karO mata kOya
pantha nihArUn dagara bahArUn UbhI mAraga jOya
mIrA kE prabhu kaba ra milOgE tuma miliyAn sukha hOya

[Lakshman]

Thanks.

While the rest is clear what does the following translate to?

divasa tO khAya gamAyiyO rE raiNa gamAyi sOya
prANa gamAyA jhUratAn rE naina gamAyA rOya

.....

pantha nihArUn dagara bahArUn UbhI mAraga jOya

[Pratyaksham Bala]

The days are wasted in eating; the nights are wasted in sleeping.
My life is wasted in depression; my eyes are wasted in crying.

…..

I sweep the path, stand by the door, and keep gazing at the road.

[smala]

thanks, Sri PB. Is there a site where the translation appears?

The song and its meaning:-

Here is my attempt:-

ghaDI Eka nahin AvaDE tuma darsaNa bina mOya
Not even a moment is pleasant without my seeing you.

tuma hO mErE prANajI kAsUn jIvaNa hOya
You are my life; without you how can I live?

dhAna na bhAvai nInda na Avai biraha satAvai mOya
I am not hungry and I don’t get sleep; I am tormented always.

ghAyala sI ghUmata phirUn rE mErO darada na jANai kOya
Emotionally injured, I drift madly; no one can understand my pain.

divasa tO khAya gamAyiyO rE raiNa gamAyi sOya
The days are wasted in eating; the nights are wasted in sleeping.

prANa gamAyA jhUratAn rE naina gamAyA rOya
My life is wasted in depression; my eyes are wasted in crying.

jO main aisI jANatI rE prIta kiyAn dukha hOya
If only I had known that love inflicts such suffering,

nagara dhandhOrA phEratI rE prIti karO mata kOya
I would have made a public cry, beating the drums, ‘Never fall in love!’.

pantha nihArUn dagara bahArUn UbhI mAraga jOya
I sweep the path, stand by the door, and keep gazing at the road.

mIrA kE prabhu kaba ra milOgE tuma miliyAn sukha hOya
Meera’s Lord! When you will come? When we meet, there will be happiness!
