tumne apna farz nibhaya
yu mamta ka farz chukaya
duniya ko di ek kahani
ma ka matlab hai kurbaani

teri chita par aaj fariste
aakar phool chadhaye
maye pyar ki ghataye
tahndi thandi hawaye
maye, pyar ki ghataye
apne ghar apne bachho ke
liye jiye mar jaye
maye pyar ki ghataye
tahndi thandi hawaye
maye, pyar ki ghataye
pyar ki ghataye

You played your part, it's true,
A mother's debt, you paid it through.
You gifted to the world a tale,
Of sacrifice, where mothers wail.

Upon your pyre, angels weep,
And scatter flowers while they sleep.
Mothers, clouds of love they be,
And breezes cool, for you and me.
Mothers, clouds of love they be,
For home, for children, they must strive,
And for their own, they live, they die.
Mothers, clouds of love they be,
And breezes cool, for you and me.
Mothers, clouds of love they be,
Clouds of love, eternally.
