Lyrics of Mai Ri Main Kaase Kahun Pir Apne Jiya Ki (Sung By Madan Mohan) - माई री में कासे कहूँ पीर अपने जिया की
main kaase kahu per apne jiya ki
maai ri main kaase kahun
per apne jiya ki
maai ri main kaase kahun
per apne jiya ki maai ri
os nayan ki unake meri
lagi ko bujhaaye naa
tan man bhigo de aake
aisi ghataa koi chhaaye naa
mohe bahaa le jaaye
aisi lahar koi aaye naa
os nayan ki unake meri
lagi ko bujhaaye naa
padi nadiyaa ke kinaare
main pyaasi maai ri
maai ri main kaase kahu
per apne jiya ki maai ri
pi ki dagar mein baithaa
mailaa huaa ri meraa aacharaa
mukhadaa hai phikaa phikaanaino mein sohe nahi kaajaraa
koi jo dekhe maiyaa prit
kaa vaase kahu maajaraa
pi ki dagar mein baithaa mailaa
huaa ri moraa aacharaa
lat me padi kaisi
birahaa ki maati maai ri
maai ri main kaase kahun
per apne jiya ki maai ri
aankho mein chalate phirate
roz mile piyaa baavare
baiyaa ki chhaiyaa aake
milate nahi kabhi saanvare
duhkh ye milan kaa lekar
kaah kaarun kahaan jaaun re
aankho mein chalate phirate
roz mile piyaa baavare
paakar bhi nahi unako
main paati maai ri
maai ri mai kaase kahun
per apne jiya ki maai ri.
maai ri main kaase kahun
per apne jiya ki
maai ri main kaase kahun
per apne jiya ki maai ri
os nayan ki unake meri
lagi ko bujhaaye naa
tan man bhigo de aake
aisi ghataa koi chhaaye naa
mohe bahaa le jaaye
aisi lahar koi aaye naa
os nayan ki unake meri
lagi ko bujhaaye naa
padi nadiyaa ke kinaare

Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Mai Ri Main Kaase Kahun Pir Apne Jiya Ki (Sung By Madan Mohan) - माई री में कासे कहूँ पीर अपने जिया की
To whom shall I speak, the ache within my soul?
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul,
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
Their eyes, a dewdrop, cannot quench my burning fire.
No storm descends to drench my body and my heart.
No wave arrives to sweep me far away.
Their eyes, a dewdrop, cannot quench my burning fire.
I sit beside the river, yet thirsty am I, Mother.
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
Upon the path of my beloved, I sit,
My veil now soiled,
My face, pale and wan,
My eyes lack kohl's embrace.
If one were to see, Mother,
The story of my love,
Upon the path of my beloved, I sit,
My veil now soiled.
Entangled in love's illusion,
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
In my eyes, they wander, my beloved, always near.
Beneath their arms, I crave to rest,
Yet my dark one never comes.
With this sorrow of union,
What shall I do, where shall I go?
In my eyes, they wander, my beloved, always near.
Even in their presence, I am not fulfilled,
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul,
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
Their eyes, a dewdrop, cannot quench my burning fire.
No storm descends to drench my body and my heart.
No wave arrives to sweep me far away.
Their eyes, a dewdrop, cannot quench my burning fire.
I sit beside the river, yet thirsty am I, Mother.
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
Upon the path of my beloved, I sit,
My veil now soiled,
My face, pale and wan,
My eyes lack kohl's embrace.
If one were to see, Mother,
The story of my love,
Upon the path of my beloved, I sit,
My veil now soiled.
Entangled in love's illusion,
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.
In my eyes, they wander, my beloved, always near.
Beneath their arms, I crave to rest,
Yet my dark one never comes.
With this sorrow of union,
What shall I do, where shall I go?
In my eyes, they wander, my beloved, always near.
Even in their presence, I am not fulfilled,
Mother, to whom shall I speak?
The ache within my soul, Mother.

Madan Mohan ji was known for being maestro for creating music for Ghazals. This song is perhaps the only recorded song in his voice and stands out amongst the best Bollywood songs. I wish many other music directors had recorded songs in their voice. It would have been interesting and a challenge to many singers of the day. Further, this would have added to the list of limited singers that we had in those days.

i must have listened to the songs of Dastak including this one atleast five hundred times. Only for the sake of feel of the song, unexplainable mystic and soulful music. You guys know someting, still i dont understand Hindi language fully. You listen to such songs and feel an inner peace only coz of of the vibrations created by the tune, music and soulful rendition of Lataji

madan sahab ne ye ga kar apne aap ko amar kar liya. music to unhone bahut diya per is gane ko apni awaj de kar ye bhi bata diya ki unka dil kitna pure hai. har koi is tarah nahi ga sakta jab tak wo rafi saheb na ho. lata ji per to yeh bhi ilzam aate hain ki unhone suman kalyan pur ka career kharaab kiya per is gane ko sun ne ke baad madan sahab per kya tohmat lagaoge?

No this was planned by Lata ji & song recordists of HMV, when LATA ji was deliberately singing it with some errors, which on repetition annoyed Madan Mohan ji a bit and Lata ji requested MM ji to explain the tune in his own voice. He reluctantly agreed but asked to stop the recording. The Minoo Katrak(song recordist) left, pretending that no recording is on, where as it was on.That is how this great voice of this Great Maestro could ever be recorded. Really magical.
