ma tera ek sahara ma tera ek sahara
ma tera ek sahara ma tera ek sahara
mai ek nari hu dukhiyari dukh ka nahi kinara
ma tera ek sahara ma tera ek sahara

tu hai dyalu tu hai kripalu tu har sankat harne vali
tu hai dyalu tu hai kripalu tu har sankat harne vali
jivan naiya paar lagao o gouri nandan ki kumari
charan tumhare charan tumhare jivan mera maro ya ubharo
ma tera ek sahara ma tera ek sahara

kalank laga hai banjh ka mata lekar aai hu dwar tumhare
kalank laga hai banjh ka mata lekar aai hu dwar tumhare
mere sar se ho sake to kalank mata jad se mita de
he mata de de mata aankh ka tara god me khelne vala
ma tera ek sahara ma tera ek sahara
mai ek nari hu dukhiyari dukh ka nahi kinara
ma tera ek sahara ma tera ek sahara

Mother, You are my only refuge, Mother, You are my only refuge,
Mother, You are my only refuge, Mother, You are my only refuge.
I am a woman, burdened by sorrow, with no shore to my pain,
Mother, You are my only refuge, Mother, You are my only refuge.

You are compassion, You are grace, You are the remover of all strife,
You are compassion, You are grace, You are the remover of all strife.
Ferry my life's boat, oh Gauri, daughter of the Golden One,
At Your feet, at Your feet, my life, break it or uplift it,
Mother, You are my only refuge, Mother, You are my only refuge.

The stain of barrenness clings, Mother, I come to Your door,
The stain of barrenness clings, Mother, I come to Your door.
If it is Your will, Mother, erase this stigma from my head,
Oh Mother, grant me, Mother, a star for my eyes, a child to play in my lap,
Mother, You are my only refuge, Mother, You are my only refuge.
I am a woman, burdened by sorrow, with no shore to my pain,
Mother, You are my only refuge, Mother, You are my only refuge.
