haar ke aayi hu main jag se
apni sharan mein rakhlo
aur na chahu jeena pal bhar
meri beenti sunlo mata meri mata
mata meri mata tum bin koi na
duja jagat mein tum bin koi na
duja jagat mein tu hi hai jeevan data
mata mata meri mata mata meri mata

shiv ki upasika shiv tere swami
tu shrishti sthiti ki roopa
shiv ki upasika shiv tere swami
tu shrishti sthiti ki roopa
aadi anant na pa saki koi
aadi anant na pa saki koi
shakti swaroopa sujata
mata mata meri mata mata meri mata

ab kit jau kisko sunau
tum bin dukh ki baate
ab kit jau kisko sunau
tum bin dukh ki baate
ghar ujda hai man ukhda hai
ghar ujda hai man ukhda hai
toot chuka sab naata
mata mata meri mata mata meri mata

itni daya kar itni kripa kar
charnon me tu apne rakhle
itni daya kar itni kripa kar
charnon me tu apne rakhle
main teri daasi tu meri maiya
main teri daasi tu meri maiya
tu sab sankat prata
mata mata meri mata mata meri mata
tum bin koi na duja jagat me
tum bin koi na duja jagat me
tu hi hai jeevan data
mata mata meri mata mata meri mata
mata meri mata

From the world, defeated, I come to you,
Shelter me now, in your embrace true.
No longer do I wish to breathe,
Hear my prayer, I implore, receive.
Mother, my Mother, none other I see,
In this world, none but you, only thee.
You are the giver of life, and its keep,
Mother, my Mother, in slumber, or sleep.

Worshipper of Shiva, his consort you be,
Form of creation, reality.
Worshipper of Shiva, his consort you be,
Form of creation, eternity.
Beginning and end, beyond all sight,
Power embodied, radiant light.
Mother, my Mother, in slumber, or sleep.

Where can I go, to whom can I speak,
My sorrow and pain, the words I seek?
Where can I go, to whom can I speak,
My grief and woes, the tears that streak?
My home is undone, my spirit torn,
All bonds have shattered, and life is forlorn.
Mother, my Mother, in slumber, or sleep.

Show me compassion, bestow your grace,
Keep me forever in your sacred space.
Show me compassion, bestow your grace,
Keep me forever in your holy place.
I am your servant, you are my guide,
You are my Mother, my strength, my pride.
Mother, my Mother, in slumber, or sleep.
None other I see, in this world so vast,
You are the giver, enduring and fast.
Mother, my Mother, in slumber, or sleep.
Mother, my Mother.
