jaise maa kare mamta ki chhanv

A mother's love, a sister's grace,
Sometimes a bride's embrace,
Your love, a thousand hues to trace,
Oh Basanti Queen, Oh Basanti Queen.

A mother's love, a sister's grace,
Sometimes a bride's embrace,
Your love, a thousand hues to trace,
Oh Basanti Queen, Oh Basanti Queen,
A mother's love, a sister's grace.

The destination, known or veiled,
In journeys through city and through town,
You cast a shade, a solace found,
As a mother shelters, love unveiled.

Your love, a thousand hues to trace,
Oh Basanti Queen, Oh Basanti Queen,

Sometimes playful, through the lanes we roam,
Sometimes we stumble, meet and greet,
To hold them back, alas, no home,
As a mischievous sister, bittersweet.

Sometimes a departing friend appears,
Whose ways are shadowed, dark and deep,
With arms entwined, he stills my tears,
And pleads, "My love, do not you weep."
