Alston, A. J. 1980. The Devotional Poems of Mirabai. 1st ed. Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass. [Instructive for its range and for its attempt to render the literal meaning, but isn’t much as English poetry.–JSH]

Futehally, Shama, trans. 1994. In the Dark of the Heart: Songs of Meera. Foreword by M.S. Subbalakshmi and an introduction by Suguna Ramanathan. San Francisco, CA: HarperCollins Publishers. [The translations are very, very, very free. This means–in my judgment–that the translations she comes up with should be used as a representation of the ongoing Mirabai tradition, in which she participates, rather than as translations per se. –JSH]
