o maa o maa aa tujhko khilauna banau main
o maa o maa aa tujhko khilauna banau main
ruth tu mujhse meri tarha tujhe
teri tarha se manau main
o maa o maa aa tujhko khilauna banau main
tujhko khilauna banau main

ban ja tu maathe ki nadiya ki dhara
aur main kinare ka phul aur main kinare ka phul
din bhar me tujhse lakh karegi baate banau fijul
bate banau fijul
aaye jo channe mare ko ye to
god me teri chhup jau main
o maa o maa aa tujhko khilauna banau main
aa tujhko

Within your lap, I'll seek my sheltering.
Oh Mother, Oh Mother, let me make you a toy,
