dwar tihare aayi hu
maiya rakhle maan
aaj tere hi hatho me hai
ek nirbal ke pran

bujhti hui is jyot ko
tu phir se jaga de
bujhti hui is jyot ko
tu phir se jaga de
mitati hui ek aas ko
tu phir se badha de
bujhti hui is jyot ko
tu phir se jaga de

dube nahi maiya, ye kisi aankh ka tara
tute nahi ummid bhare dil ka sahara
dube nahi maiya ye kisi aankh ka tara
ek dil ka ujadta hua sansar basa de
bujhti hui is jyot ko
tu phir se jaga de
bujhti hui is jyot ko
tu phir se jaga de

pate hai murade apni yaha sare sawali
kya mai hi chali jau, tere dwar se khali
kya mai hi chali jau, tere dwar se khali
tu le le mere pran, le le mere pran
magar inko dila de
tu le le mere pran, le le mere pran
magar inko dila de
ho maiya inko dila de
ho maiya inko dila de
ho maiya inko dila de
ho maiya inko dila de

At your door, I arrive,
Mother, heed my plea.
Held within these hands,
A fragile life, you see.

This fading flame,
Let it brightly ignite.
This fading flame,
Rekindle its light.
This waning hope,
Grant it soaring flight.
This fading flame,
Let it brightly ignite.

May she not drown, the pupil of an eye,
Nor break, the heart's support, reaching high.
May she not drown, the pupil of an eye,
Restore a world, where a heart used to lie.
This fading flame,
Let it brightly ignite.
This fading flame,
Rekindle its light.

All who ask, find their desires met,
Must I alone depart, with nothing yet?
Must I alone depart, with nothing yet?
Take my life, take it from me,
But grant them grace, I pray.
Take my life, take it from me,
But grant them grace, today.
Oh Mother, grant them grace.
Oh Mother, grant them grace.
Oh Mother, grant them grace.
Oh Mother, grant them grace.
