lal tera jug jug jiye mata lal tera jug jug jiye mata
lal tera jug jug jiye mata
diya tere angan ka raakhe vidhata
lal tera jug jug jiye mata lal tera

chayi ho chahe chandani suraj ki chahe dhup ho
chayi ho chahe chandani suraj ki chahe dhup ho
chaw me tere aachal ke tere pyar ka rup ho
chahe tere godi me chahe kahi durse
chahe tere godi me chahe kahi durse
rahe tere aachal ki sobha badhata
lal tera jug jug jiye mata lal tera

ram kare ho jawan to kam raakhe ache hi kam se
ram kare ho jawan to kam raakhe ache hi kam se
desh ka nam uncha ho maa tere bete ke nam se
mathe pe himalya ke badi anubhan se
mathe pe himalya ke badi anubhan se
banke jawahir rahe jagmagata
lal tera jug jug jiye mata lal tera

mera bhi tha ek angan wo gali jane kaha thi
mera bhi tha ek angan wo gali jane kaha thi
kya janu kaise lekin aisi hi meri bhi maa thi
yu hi mera banchpan machal gaya mata
lal tera jug jug jiye mata
diya tere angan ka raakhe vidhata
lal tera jug jug jiye mata lal tera

May your son live on, Mother, may he live on,

Sheltered in your love, your embrace, his form returns.
Whether cradled near, or wandering far,

May your son's name elevate his nation's needs.
With pride on his brow, like Himalayas high,
With pride on his brow, like Himalayas high,
May he shine as a jewel, against the sky.
May your son live on, Mother, may he live on.

I too had a home, a street now unknown,
I too had a home, a street now unknown,
How could I know, but my mother was one.
Thus, my childhood, it trembled and yearned.
May your son live on, Mother,
May the Giver of all bless the light of your home.
May your son live on, Mother, may he live on.
