wo aankhe kya aankhe jinme
aansu ki dhar nahi
wo dil patthar hai
jis dil me mata ka pyar nahi
wo aankhe kya aankhe jinme
aansu ki dhar nahi
wo dil patthar hai
jis dil me mata ka pyar nahi

dharti si dhiraj wali
aur aakash si nirmal maa
ganga si pawan man bhawan
jamuna si nichchhal maa
bhagwan bhagwan
bhagwan banayi hai tune duniya me kaisi maa
jo sab kuch de aur kuch bhi na le
jo sab kuch de aur kuch bhi na le
bas ek hai aisi maa
duniya me hazaaro naate
duniya me hazaaro naate
par mata do char nahi
wo dil patthar hai
jis dil me mata ka pyar nahi
wo aankhe kya aankhe

bachpan ki pyar bhari godi ke
mithe mithe jhule
haye mithe mithe jhule
lori ka
lori ka wo sangeet madhur koi kab kaise bhule
mata ka ye nirmal nata
mata ka ye nirmal nata
tute na koi tode
insaan nahi haiwan hai wo
jo maa se bhi munh mode
insaan nahi haiwan hai wo
jo maa se bhi munh mode
wo jivan kya jivan
wo jivan kya jivan
jisme mamta ka taar nahi
wo dil patthar hai
jis dil me mata ka pyar nahi
wo aankhe kya aankhe

What eyes are those, if not
A river of tears flow?
A heart of stone it is,
Where a mother's love won't grow.

Like earth, patient and deep,
Like the sky, pure and so free,
A mother, like the Ganges, holy,
Like the Yamuna, serenity.
God, oh God,
What a mother you've made,
She gives all, asks nothing,
She gives all, asks nothing,
Only one like her is made.
In the world, a thousand ties,
In the world, a thousand ties,
But mothers, a few, it's true,
A heart of stone it is,
Where a mother's love won't see through.
What eyes are those?

In childhood, a loving lap,
Sweet, sweet cradles swing,
Lullabies,
Lullabies, a sweet song,
How can one ever forget?
A mother's pure relation,
A mother's pure relation,
May no one break or sever,
Not human, but a beast is he,
Who turns from his mother forever.
What life is that,
What life is that,
Where a mother's thread does not bind?
A heart of stone it is,
Where a mother's love you can't find.
What eyes are those?
