CBSE Class 10 - Hindi (B) - मीरा के पद (भावार्थ और प्रश्नोत्तरी) (#cbseNotes)

मीरा के पद 

भावार्थ

हरि आप हरो जन री भीर।

द्रोपदी री लाज राखी, आप बढायो चीर।

भगत कारण रूप नरहरि , धरयो आप सरीर।

बूढतो गजराज राख्यो , काटी कुण्जर पीर।

दासी मीराँ लाल गिरधर , हरो म्हारी भीर।

भावार्थ – इस पद में मीराबाई अपने प्रिय भगवान श्रीकृष्ण से विनती करते हुए कहतीं हैं कि हे प्रभु अब आप ही अपने भक्तों की पीड़ा हरें। जिस तरह आपने अपमानित द्रोपदी की लाज उसे चीर प्रदान करके बचाई थी जब दु:शासन ने उसे निर्वस्त्र करने का प्रयास किया था। अपने प्रिय भक्त प्रह्लाद को बचाने के लिए नरसिंह रूप धारण किया था। आपने ही डुबते हुए हाथी की रक्षा की थी और उसे मगरमच्छ के मुँह से बचाया था। इस प्रकार आपने उस हाथी की पीड़ा दूर की थी। इन उदाहरणों को देकर दासी मीरा कहतीं हैं की हे गिरिधर लाल! आप मेरी पीडा भी दूर कर मुझे छुटकारा दीजिये।
