uyi maa, uyi maa ye kya ho gaya
unki gali me dil kho gaya
bindiya ho to, dhundh bhi lu mai
dil na dhundha jaye
uyi maa, uyi maa ye kya ho gaya
unki gali me dil kho gaya
bindiya ho to, dhundh bhi lu mai
dil na dhundha jaye
haye dil na dhundha jaye

ik din ki baat hain, nadiya kinaare
unse huye the, chhup chhup ishaare
ik din ki baat hain, nadiya kinaare
unse huye the, chhup chhup ishaare
kasam kha chuki thi, mai pyaar na karungi
mai pyaar na kabhi bhi, ikraar na karungi
ab wo baate aaye yaad
darr hai ho na jaau barbaad
shisha ho to tod bhi daalu, dil na toda jaye
uyi maa, uyi maa ye kya ho gaya
unki gali me dil kho gaya
bindiya ho to, dhundh bhi lu mai
dil na dhundha jaye
uyi maa, dil na dhundha jaye

pyaar ke raste piya, bade unche niche
aau mai bol kaise, tere pichhe pichhe
pyaar ke raste piya, bade unche niche
aau mai bol kaise, tere pichhe pichhe
na thes lag jaaye, ghunghat gir jaaye
ghunghat jo sambhalu to, lat khul jaaye
mushkil me hai meri jaan, tu kya samjhe o naadan
duniya ho to chhod bhi du mai
pyaar na chhoda jaye
dil na dhundha jaye
dil na dhundha jaye

Oh Mother, Oh Mother, what has befallen?
My heart, in their lane, has fallen.
A lost jewel, I could seek and find,
But the heart, alas, cannot be defined.
Oh Mother, Oh Mother, what has befallen?
My heart, in their lane, has fallen.
A lost jewel, I could seek and find,
But the heart, alas, cannot be defined.
Alas, it cannot be defined.

One day, by the river's edge so fair,
Secret glances, we did share.
One day, by the river's edge so fair,
Secret glances, we did share.
A vow I swore, to love I'd be immune,
Never to confess, beneath the moon.
Now memories return to taunt my soul,
Fearful of ruin, losing all control.
A mirror, I could shatter with a plea,
But the heart, alas, cannot be set free.
Oh Mother, Oh Mother, what has befallen?
My heart, in their lane, has fallen.
A lost jewel, I could seek and find,
But the heart, alas, cannot be defined.
Oh Mother, the heart cannot be defined.

Love's path is steep, with heights and depths untold,
How can I follow, brave and bold?
Love's path is steep, with heights and depths untold,
How can I follow, brave and bold?
Lest a stumble, the veil should fall,
If the veil I guard, the habit calls.
My life is caught, a perilous plight,
You, oblivious, in your naive light.
The world, I'd forsake, without a sigh,
But love, alas, can never die.
The heart cannot be defined.
The heart cannot be defined.
