mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi
jab mere bachpan ke din the
chand mein pariyan rahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi
ek ye din jab apno ne bhi
humse nata tod liya
ek ye din jab apno ne bhi
humse nata tod liya
ek wo din jab ped ki shakhi
bojh humara sahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi

ek ye din jab sari sadke
ruthi ruthi lagti hain
ek ye din jab sari sadke
ruthi ruthi lagti hain
ek wo din jab aao khele
sari galiya kahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi
ek ye din jab jaagi raaten
diwaro ko takti hain
ek ye din jab jaagi raaten
diwaro ko takti hain
ek wo din jab shamo ki bhi
palke bojhal rahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi

ek ye din jab lakho gham
aur akaal pada hain aansu ka
ek ye din jab lakho gham
aur akaal pada hain aansu ka
ek wo din jab ek zara si
baat pe nadiyan bahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi
jab mere bachpan ke din the
chand mein pariyan rahti thi
mujhko yakin hain sach kahti thi
jo bhi ammi kahti thi

I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.
When childhood bloomed,
Fairies danced within the moon.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.

Now, a day where loved ones turn,
Severing ties they made.
Now, a day where loved ones turn,
Severing ties they made.
Then, a day when branches held,
The weight of us, unafraid.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.

Now, a day when every street,
Appears with sullen face.
Now, a day when every street,
Appears with sullen face.
Then, a day when "come and play,"
Echoed from every place.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.
Now, when wakeful nights remain,
Staring at the wall.
Now, when wakeful nights remain,
Staring at the wall.
Then, when even evening’s eyes,
Heavy with sleep would fall.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.

Now, a day of countless woes,
And tears, a barren land.
Now, a day of countless woes,
And tears, a barren land.
Then, a day when slightest cause,
Could make a river expand.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.
When childhood bloomed,
Fairies danced within the moon.
I believe, she spoke the truth,
All that my mother said.
