maairi maairi
tu hi karuna ka saagar hai
aur tu hi mamata mayi
maairi maairi

god mein tu jiski pale
use khud hi tu kyun chhale
hai yahi to aadhaar tera is nile gagan tale
maairi maairi, maairi maairi
kar upekshit dharati maa ki
haalat kya kar di, maairi maairi

kya hoga socho agar maata krodh se ubal pade
naamo nishaan mit jaayega agar wo na reham kare
maairi maairi, maairi maairi
jeevandaayi maata hai ye
sarv shaktimayi, maairi maairi

paagalpan dekho ye kaisa maa se ghaat kare
aankh mund kar kab tak maata ye aghaat sahe
maairi maairi, maairi maairi
kshamadaayini maata dekho
kitni dhirmayi, maairi maairi
maairi maairi, maairi maairi

My Mother, My Mother,
You are the ocean of compassion,
And you are the embodiment of love,
My Mother, My Mother.

Whose child you nurture in your lap,
Why do you deceive that very one?
This is your foundation beneath the blue sky,
My Mother, My Mother,
My Mother, My Mother.
You scorn the Earth, our Mother,
What state have you wrought, My Mother?

Think, what if Mother boils with rage?
All trace will vanish if she withholds her grace.
My Mother, My Mother,
My Mother, My Mother.
She is life-giving,
All-powerful, My Mother.

Behold this madness, to strike at Mother,
How long will she bear these blows, eyes closed?
My Mother, My Mother,
My Mother, My Mother.
See, the forgiving Mother,
How patient she is, My Mother,
My Mother, My Mother,
My Mother, My Mother.
