o maa meri maa
tujhko dekhna hai tujhko dekhna hai
o maa meri maa
tujhko dekhna hai tujhko dekhna hai
ab mujhse koi bhul na hogi
itna kahna hai
maa tujhko dekhna hai

mera jee na lage padhne me
tu hi tu dikhti hai sapne me
o maa meri maa
ek bhul chhoti si ki maine
itni badi saugandh utha li tune
ek baar bas tujhe
dekh kar tujhse lipatna hai
maa tujhko dekhna hai

teri taraf o maa paanw mere khinche
dhundh rahi hai tujhko meri ankhe
na dekhu to dil mera ghabraye
or dekhu to maa
ho maa meri maa
tujhe dekhna mana hai mujhko
muskil jina hai
maa tujhko dekhna hai
o maa meri maa
tujhko dekhna hai tujhko dekhna hai

Oh Mother, my Mother,
To see you, I long, to see you.
Oh Mother, my Mother,
To see you, I long, to see you.
No more will I falter,
This I must confess.
Mother, to see you, I yearn.

My heart finds no solace in learning,
You alone fill my dreams' turning.
Oh Mother, my Mother,
A tiny error I made,
Yet such a vow you've laid.
Just once, to behold you,
And in your embrace to rest.
Mother, to see you, I yearn.

Towards you, Mother, my feet are drawn,
My eyes seek you, at the break of dawn.
If I don't see you, my heart aches,
And if I do, my soul breaks.
Oh Mother, my Mother,
To see you is forbidden, it seems,
My life a struggle, it gleams.
Mother, to see you, I yearn.
Oh Mother, my Mother,
To see you, I long, to see you.
