teriya meriya bhul gaya
bhul gaya haar te jeet
he maaye ki karna mein jeet nu
hove na je mit, hove na je mit

bindiya lagati to, kaapti thi palkhen maayeri
chuniya saja ke wo deti, vaaden kal ke maayeri
mere haathon me, tha uska haath
thi chaashni si har uski baat
maayeri aap hi hasdi
maayeri aap hi rondi
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
galla o kardi
maayeri akhaan naal lad di
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
he he maayeri

baarishon me lipat ke
maa aati thi wo chalke maayeri
deriyan ho jaye to
roti halke halke maayeri
phir se mein rou, phir wo gaaye
thandi havayen banke chaye
maayeri hira o gaondhi
maayeri gidde o paundi
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
jannata langdi, maayeri mannata mangdi
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri

ab kya karun kase kahun ae maayeri
ab kya karun kase kahun ae maayeri

duniya parayi chhod ke aaja
jhoothe saare naate tod ke aaja
sau rab di tujhe ek baari aaja
ab ke mile to honge na juda
na juda aa aa, na juda aa aa

maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
galla o kardi
maayeri akhaan naal lad di
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
he he maayeri bhul gayi mera pyar
mane bas lage mahine chaar
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri
maayeri yaad wo, yaad wo aaye ri

ab kya karun kase kahun ae maayeri
ab kya karun kase kahun ae maayeri

I forgot my own,
Lost the game, the victory won.
Oh mother, what do I do with this win?
If my beloved's gone, if my beloved's gone.
When she'd apply the bindi, her lashes used to quiver,
Adorning my veil, she'd give tomorrow's promises, forever.
In my hands, her hand did reside,
Each word she spoke, like honey inside.
Mother, she laughed, Mother, she cried,
Mother, I remember, she never died.
She'd speak in secrets, Mother, her eyes would fight with mine,
Mother, I remember, her love, divine.

In the rain, she'd embrace, overflowing, my mother,
If the river would swell, she'd weep, softly, another.
Again, I'll weep, then she will sing,
Cool breezes will embrace, their comfort they bring.
Mother, the diamond she would find,
Mother, the dance, she'd unwind.
Mother, I remember, her love enshrined,
Heaven passes, Mother, wishes aligned,
Mother, I remember, her love, defined.

Now what to do, to whom can I say, oh Mother?
Now what to do, to whom can I say, oh Mother?
Leaving the world, so foreign and frail,
Breaking all ties, discarding the veil.
By a hundred Gods, I beg you, come back in a while,
If we meet again, forever we’ll reconcile.
No separation, no, no separation.

Mother, I remember, her love, her trial,
She'd speak in secrets,
Mother, her eyes would fight with mine,
Mother, I remember, her love, sublime.
Oh Mother, forgot my affection,
I only remember four months of our relation.
Mother, I remember, her love's creation,
Mother, I remember, her love's elation,
Mother, I remember, her love’s sensation,
Now what to do, to whom can I say, oh Mother?
Now what to do, to whom can I say, oh Mother?
