Hari bin koon gati meri - Meera Bai

Listening to this Meera bhajan along with Guru Tegh Bahadur's shabad, Har ki Gat Neh Kou Janai. Following is my translation and the lyrics.  



I think the poem has three stanzas of two lines each; elsewhere I found each line as its own stanza, which doesn't make sense. The words are slightly different in different versions found on the internet. 

Meerabai - hari bin koon gati meri - Translation

What am I without you?
You are my caretaker and I am your servant

All the time your name revolves in my heart
Again and again I call you out, you are my only desire

this world is an inclement ocean that I am surrounded
my boat has popped, kindly tie it, I am drowning

In your wait I am looking at the way, keep me near you
Meera is in the refuge of Laal Giridhar

Meerabai - hari bin kaun gati meri - English Lyrics

hari bin koon gati meri
tum mere pratipal kahiye, maian ravari cheri

adi ant nij naanv tero, hiya mean pheri
beri-beri pukari kahooan, prabhu arati hai teri

yau sansar vikar sagar, bich mean gheri
nav phati prabhoo pali baandhyo, boodat hai beri

birahani piv ki bat jovai, rakhi lyau neri
dasi miraan lal giradhar, sarani hooan teri


हरि बिन कूँण गती मेरी -मीराँबाई

हरि बिन कूण गती मेरी।।टेक।।
तुम मेरे प्रतिपाल कहियै, मैं रावरी चेरी।

आदि अंत निज नाँव तेरो, हीया में फेरी।
बेरि बेरि पुकारि कहूँ, प्रभु आरति है तेरी।

थौ संसार विकार सागर, बीच में घेरी।
नाव फाटी प्रभु पाल बाँधो, बूड़त है बेरी।

बिरहणि पिवकी बाट जोवै, राखिल्यौ नेरी।
दासि मीरां राम रटत है, मैं सरण हूं तेरी।।
