aasu nahi bahana tu shahid ki hai maa
tu shahid ki hai maa
tere dudh ka jo rin tha deke lahu chukaya
khush ho ke lal tera bharat ke kam aaya
rokar bhi muskurana tu shahid ki hai maa
tu shahid ki hai maa

koi maa jo tujhko dekhe aasu bahate se
wo apne dil ka tukda bhejegi ran me kaise
muskake dil badhana tu shahid ki hai maa
tu shahid ki hai maa

marna to hai sabhi ko dunia me bari bari
ye maut wo hai mata jo hai jindagi se pyari
gaurav se sar uthana tu shahid ki hai maa
tu shahid ki hai maa

tere dudh ka jo rin tha deke lahu chukaya
khush ho ke lal tera bharat ke kam aaya
rokar bhi muskurana tu shahid ki hai maa
tu shahid ki hai maa

Do not weep, you are a martyr's mother.
You are a martyr's mother.
The debt of your milk, paid in crimson,
Your son gladly served India's vision.
Smile through your tears, you are a martyr's mother.
You are a martyr's mother.

If a mother sees your tears fall,
How could she send her own heart to war's call?
Embrace your courage, you are a martyr's mother.
You are a martyr's mother.

Death comes to all, in time's fleeting dance,
But this death, O mother, is life's true expanse.
Raise your head with pride, you are a martyr's mother.
You are a martyr's mother.

The debt of your milk, paid in crimson,
Your son gladly served India's vision.
Smile through your tears, you are a martyr's mother.
You are a martyr's mother.
