amma amma tu kahan gai amma
bachpan mera rota hai
amma amma tu kahan gai amma
bachpan mera rota hai

mere lal kahan hai tu mere lal kahan hai tu
kyun bichhad gaya mujhse
meri god tadpati hai meri god tadpati hai
man mera rota hai bhagwan bhi sota hai
amma amma tu kahan gai amma
bachapan mera rota hai

bhagwan ne duniya ke dukh dard hame bante
naino me bhare ansu aur panvo me kante
meri ujadi hui bagiya meri dard bhari duniya
hamne na kabhi dekha sukh kaisa hota hai
amma amma tu kahan gai amma
bachpan mera rota hai amma amma

Mother, Mother, where did you wander?
My childhood weeps.
Mother, Mother, where did you wander?
My childhood weeps.

My darling, where are you, my darling, where?
Why did you leave me?
My lap yearns, my lap yearns,
My heart weeps, even God sleeps.
Mother, Mother, where did you wander?
My childhood weeps.

God has dealt us the world's pain, its sorrow,
Filled our eyes with tears, our feet with thorns.
My desolate garden, my world of hurt,
We've never known the taste of joy.
Mother, Mother, where did you wander?
My childhood weeps, Mother, Mother...
