gol banakar hot bahut paas aaye par
o mama, o mama
unke labje dekhte reha gaye chahe par
o mama, o mama
takraye hoto se phir bhi ummiad ho
koi to iss tarah aashiq shahid ho
koi gaya gaya
o mama, o mama

o mama, kanche maare
billi jaisi, aankhon wali
ik myaun si ladki
o mama, o mama
unghe kabhi, sunghe kabhi
jhanke kabhi, aaun kabhi
kabhi jaaun si ladki
o mama, o mama, o mama

They formed a circle, faces near, so near,
Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
Their lips, they watched, though longing held them here,
Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
Though lips may meet, a hope still takes its flight,
That love might find a martyr in the night,
Lost, lost, she went away,
Oh Mama, Oh Mama.

Oh Mama, marbles scattered on the ground,
With eyes like a cat, she did surround,
A girl of grace, so coy and free,
Oh Mama, Oh Mama,
She'd peek, she'd sniff, she'd disappear,
Then reappear, banish every fear,
A girl of knowing, wild and true,
Oh Mama, Oh Mama, Oh Mama.
