chhod ke maa tere, pyar ka aanchal
kaise piya ke ghar jaau re
hay chal ke bhi chal nahi paau re
chhod ke maa tere, pyar ka aanchal
kaise piya ke ghar jaau re
hay chal ke bhi chal nahi paau re

mamata ki shital chhanv me paye
maine sukh sansaar ke
farj nibhaya tune to apna
sapne mere sanvaar ke
sapne mere sanvaar ke
samjh na aaye kaise main aaj tere
pyar ka karj chukaau re
hay chal ke bhi chal nahi paau re

jane anjane karti aai
kitne main nadaniya
bin mange hi mujhko hamesha
deti rahi tu mafiya
deti rahi tu mafiya
ek dua bas aur de mujhko
jag se suhagan jaau re main
jag se suhagan jaau re

ruk sakti to ruk jati main
hay magar majbur chali
duniya ki is reet me bandh ke
apno se bhi dur chali
apno se bhi dur chali
sine me tufaan, aankho me saavan
hontho me dard dabaau re hay
hontho me dard dabaau re
chhod ke maa tere, pyar ka aanchal
kaise piya ke ghar jaau re

Leaving, Mother, your loving embrace,
How can I journey to my Beloved's place?
Alas, though walking, I cannot find my way,
Leaving, Mother, your loving embrace.

In the cool shade of your nurturing love,
I found the world's sweet happiness above.
You fulfilled your duty with grace and care,
Adorning all my dreams beyond compare.
How can I repay your love today?
Alas, though walking, I cannot find my way.

Knowingly and unknowingly I've done,
So many childish things, a race unwon.
Without me asking, you always forgave,
And freely all your blessings gave.
One more prayer, I beg of you, bestow,
May I leave this world a happy bride, you know.

If I could stay, I would surely remain,
But alas, I'm bound by fate's harsh chain.
Tied to the ways of this world, I must depart,
From loved ones I'm torn, my breaking heart.
A storm within, a monsoon in my eyes,
My lips conceal the pain that never dies.
Leaving, Mother, your loving embrace,
How can I journey to my Beloved's place?
