Yaadon Ka Safar Kyon Jata Hai Theher Maa

Journey of Memories, Why Does It Pause, O Mother?

Ruke Na Samay Kyon Aaye Na Sehar Maa

Why does time not stop, why does dawn not come, O Mother?

Har Khuda Ka Roop Tu Maa Har Hriday Ka Dhaacha

You are the embodiment of every god, the structure of every heart.

Har Galat Ki Seekh Tu Maa Har Sahi Se Saancha

You are the lesson in every mistake, the mold for all that’s right.

Main Leher Pe Behta Kaagaz Tu Nadi Ka Paani

I am a paper boat floating on the waves, you are the water of the river.

Jo Nidar Ladke Mite Tu Uski Hai Naadaani

The one who fights fearlessly, is the one whose innocence you belong to.

Janam Sada Maa Maa Maa

Life begins and ends with you, O Mother.

Vichalit Mann Mohe Nindiya Na Aaye
Sadiyon Se Jaage Na Na Roye Na Rulaye

My restless mind is sleepless,
Awakened for ages, neither crying nor making others cry.

Kabhi To Sula De Maa
Koi Lori To Suna De Maa

Sometimes, please, lull me to sleep,
Please sing me a lullaby, O Mother

Sookhe Mere Aansoo Tere Pallu Ko Taras Gaye
Rookhe Mere Gaal Tere Chhune Ko Taras Gaye

My dry tears long for your caring touch,
My parched cheeks yearn for your caress.

Pyaar Toh Jata De Maa
Tere Haathon Se Khila De Maa

Show your love, Mother,
Feed me with your hands once more.

Sooni Sooni Raahein Hai Bichhona Tujh Bin
Kis Ki Mala Hai Pirona

These empty, desolate paths feel like a bed without you,
Whose garland can I string without you?

Subah Ka Kiran Se Bichhad Ke
Kaisa Jeena Kya Jeena

Separated from the morning rays,
What kind of life is this, what kind of existence?

Janam Sada Maa Maa Maa

Life begins and ends with you, O Mother.
