babul kee duwaye letee ja, ja tuj ko sukhee sansar mile
mayake kee kabhee naa yad aaye, sasural me itana pyar mile

naajo se tujhe pala maine, kaliyo kee tarah phulon kee tarah
bachapan me julaya hain tujhako, baaho ne meree jhulo kee tarah
mere bag kee aye najuk dalee, tuje harpal nayee bahar mile

jis ghar se bandhe hain bhag tere, us ghar me sada teraa raj rahe
hothhon pe hansee kee dhup khile, mathe pe khushee kaa taj rahe
kabhee jisakee jyot naa ho fikee, tuje aisa rup singar mile

bite tere jivan kee ghadeeyan, aaram kee thhandee chhanv me
kanta bhee naa chubhane paye kabhee, meree ladalee tere panw me
us dwar se bhee dukh dur rahe, jis dwar se teraa dwar mile

Go, child, embrace your father's prayer,
May joy's vast world be yours to share.
Forget the home where you were born,
Find love that makes your new heart yearn.
Your father's prayer.

I nurtured you with such sweet care,
A blossom blooming beyond compare,
In childhood, cradled, you would sway,
My arms, a swing, at close of day.
My garden's tender, fragile bloom,
May endless springs dispel all gloom.
Your father's prayer.

The house where fate has set your course,
May its dominion be your source,
Let laughter's sun upon you gleam,
A crown of joy, your brow to beam -
May every wish find sweet fulfillment
And beauty bloom with rich pigment.
Your father's prayer.

Your life unfold in peaceful ease,
Beneath the shade of comforting trees,
May not a thorn your feet shall graze,
My darling one, in future days.
May sorrow flee from that new door,
Where your own new door shall soar.
Your father's prayer.
