ammaa roti de, baba roti de
bhul gayaa bhagvaan hame ab tum bhi bhul na jana
galiyo ke mahmaan bane ham, data haath badhana
ammaa roti de, baba roti de

ham bhi kisi ke raajdulaare hai naino ke taare
kismat ke maare dukhiyaare aaye dwaar tumhaare
ammaa roti de, baba roti de

naa maange ham dudh malaai
naa maange ham maal mithai
ammaa roti de
naa maange ham dudh malaai
naa mange ham maal mithai
rukhaa sukhaa tukdaa de do, le lo punya kamaai
dukhiyo ki tumhe duhaai
ammaa roti de, baba roti de
ammaa roti de, baba roti de

Mother, give bread, Father, give bread,
God has forgotten us, now, do not you too forget.
Guests of the streets we've become, O giver, extend your hand.
Mother, give bread, Father, give bread.

We are someone's cherished, stars within their gaze,
Beaten by fate, we, the sorrowful, come to your door.
Mother, give bread, Father, give bread.

We do not ask for milk or cream,
We do not ask for riches or sweet treats.
Mother, give bread.
We do not ask for milk or cream,
We do not ask for riches or sweet treats.
Give a dry, simple piece, take the merit you gain.
We implore you, the sorrowful, with our plight.
Mother, give bread, Father, give bread.
Mother, give bread, Father, give bread.
