hey maa kya hai
aa aa tumhe batau ke maa kya hai
maa ek jyoti jivan me
baki sab andhiyara hai
maa ek jyoti jivan me
baki sab andhiyara hai
sachi uske duniya me
bhagwan ne pyar uthara hai
maa ka duja naam hai pyar
mere sathi mere yaar
aa aa tumhe batau ke maa kya hai

jinko maa chhu leti hai kante vo khil jate hai
mahake mahake aanchal me sare sukh mil jate hai
maa ki godi ek sansar mere sathi mere yaar
aa aa tumhe batau ke maa kya hai

bukha hai tokar kha pyasa hai to aanshu pee
duniya tumse kehti hai jina hai to aise ji
maa bin jina hai bekar mere sathi mere yaar
aa aa tumhe batau ke maa kya hai
aa aa tumhe batau ke maa kya hai

Oh, Mother, what is she?
Come, let me tell you what a mother can be.
A light within life's core,
While all else is shadow's door.
A light within life's core,
While all else is shadow's door.
In her truthful world,
God's love is softly unfurled.
Mother's other name is love,
My companions, my friends above.
Come, let me tell you what a mother can be.

Whom Mother touches, thorns bloom bright,
Fragrant, in her embrace, all joys ignite.
Mother's lap, a world so vast, my friends, my heart,
Come, let me tell you what a mother can be.

If hungry, stumble; if thirsty, drink tears;
The world says, "Live as life appears."
Without Mother, life is naught, my friends, my guide,
Come, let me tell you what a mother can be.
Come, let me tell you what a mother can be.
