jab chot kabhi mere lag jaati thi
to aankh teri bhi to bhar aati thi, maa o maa
jab chot kabhi mere lag jaati thi
to aankh teri bhi to bhar aati thi
ek chhoti si phuk se teri, sabhi dard mere hote thhe gum
aaj bhi koi chot lage to, yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
aaj bhi meri aankh bhare to, yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
maa meri maa meri maa, o maa meri maa, meri maa maa

teri baato me apni har ik me, uljhan ka hall pa leta tha
tere hatho ki roti aksar hi, bhukh se zyada kha leta tha
teri baato me apni har ik me, uljhan ka hall pa leta tha
tere hatho ki roti aksar hi, bhukh se zyada kha leta tha
tera hissa me tera qissa me, jo sabko sunaati ho tum
aaj bhi meri baat chale to, yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
aaj bhi meri aankh bhare to, yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
maa meri maa meri maa, maa meri maa, meri maa maa

kone ko thame tere aanchal ke, befikra me so jaata tha
mere dil me kya hai tere bina maa
koi samjha hi naa pata tha
jo ho sang tu na to ho jag suna, pyaar itna jatati ho tum
aaj bhi koi saath na de to, yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
aaj bhi meri aankh bhare to, yaad aati ho, yaad aati ho tum
o meri maa meri maa, meri maa, meri maa maa

When a hurt would befall me,
Your eyes, too, would overflow, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
When a hurt would befall me,
Your eyes, too, would overflow.
With a gentle breath from you,
All my pain would vanish, unseen.
Even today, when a hurt descends,
I remember you, I remember you.
Even today, when my eyes well up,
I remember you, I remember you.
Mother, my Mother, my Mother, Oh my Mother,
My Mother, Mother.

In your words, in every one of them,
I would find solutions to all my tangles.
The bread from your hands, often,
I would eat more than my hunger allowed.
In your words, in every one of them,
I would find solutions to all my tangles.
The bread from your hands, often,
I would eat more than my hunger allowed.
Your stories are mine, your tales,
That you share with everyone.
Even today, when a hurt descends,
I remember you, I remember you.
Even today, when my eyes well up,
I remember you, I remember you.
Mother, my Mother, my Mother, my Mother,
My Mother, Mother.

Clutching the corner of your shawl,
Carefree, I would fall asleep.
What was in my heart, without you, Mother,
No one could ever understand.
If you're with me, the world isn't empty,
Such love you show.
Even today, when a hurt descends,
I remember you, I remember you.
Even today, when my eyes well up,
I remember you, I remember you.
Oh my Mother, my Mother, my Mother,
My Mother, Mother.
