mamta ki chaanw me, sapno ke gaaon me
mamta ki chaanw me, sapno ke gaaon me
maiya aur baabuji the, laad pyaar karte the
pal vo kahan gaye gujar
bepanah tujhe chaahun maa
janme jane hain jameen aasmaan

jab tu bulaati thi, sab chod aati thi
khushiya chhalakti thi teri aankho se
jab nind na aati thi loriyaan sunaati thi
aur main so jaati thi teri baahon me
jab main gir jaati thi, god me uthaati thi
baabuji bhi kitne khush hote the na maa
bepanah tujhe chaahun maa
janme jane hain jameen aasmaan

nanhi kali thi main phulon ki sej par
aai jawani to main gayi bikhar
jalne lagi hun main parwaane ki tarah
kaise chupaaun main jakhme jigar
maine chuni hain jo raah, us raah ki
na koi manzil, jaaun main kidhar
faasla na bacha koi
ab maut aur mere darmiyaa

In the shade of love, in the village of dreams,
In the shade of love, in the village of dreams,
Mother and Father, they showered such grace,
Where did those moments flee?

Boundless I yearn for you, Mother,
From where the earth and heavens were born.

When you would call, all else I'd forsake,
Joy overflowing from your eyes.
When sleep evaded, lullabies you'd sing,
And I'd slumber in your embrace.
When I would fall, you'd lift me to your lap,
Father, too, how happy he would be, oh Mother.
Boundless I yearn for you, Mother,
From where the earth and heavens were born.

A tiny bud I was, on a bed of blooms,
As youth arrived, I scattered and fell.
I burn now, like a moth to the flame,
How can I hide the wounds of my heart?
The path I've chosen, on that road,
No destination, where shall I go?
No distance remains,
Now, between me and death.
