maa ka aanchal ladle daman hai bhagwan ka
din din suraj ban ke chade tu
badle ye sansar mera
bole meri rupa naiya
aaya khewan har mera
kaisa pala kaise sambhala
mujhko ye malum nahi
jitni tujhko pyas lagi
utna barsa pyar mera
maa ka aanchal ladle daman hai bhagwan ka

tujhse roshan din hai hamare
jhil mil jhil mil rat me hai
jiwan iska pyasa tha kab se
ras jo teri bat me hai
bhakti is aanchal ki mitana
rakhna meri laaj sada
shaan bhi meri aan bhi meri
tere nanhe hath me hai
maa ka aanchal ladle daman hai bhagwan ka
maa ka aanchal ladle daman hai bhagwan ka

A mother's veil, a tender fold of God,
May you rise each day, a sun ascending,
Transforming all, this world of mine.
My Rupā's boat now speaks,
My ferryman has come at last.

How you nurtured, how you held me close,
These mysteries I cannot grasp.
As thirsty as your heart has been,
So lavishly your love did pour.
A mother's veil, a tender fold of God.

From you, our days find their bright glow,
A shimmer, shimmer in the night.
Life, parched, had thirsted long,
For nectar found within your words.
This devotion, never let it fade,
Protect my honor, keep it true.
My pride, my very being,
Held within your tiny hand.
A mother's veil, a tender fold of God.
A mother's veil, a tender fold of God.
