teri ungali pakad ke chala, mamata ke aanchal me pala
teri ungali pakad ke chala, mamata ke aanchal me pala
maa o meri maa tu mera ladla
maa o meri maa mai tera ladla

banke tera saya mai tujhko tham lu
uthke rab se pahle mai tera nam lu
banke tera saya mai tujhko tham lu
uthke rab se pahle mai tera nam lu
rakhu tujhe palko tale, pooja karu teri
tere siwa tu hi bata, kya jindagi meri
mai to tere sapno ke rang me dhala
teri ungali pakad ke chala, mamata ke aanchal me pala
maa o meri maa tu mera ladla
maa o meri maa mai tera ladla

bachke apne ghar se sukh jayega kaha
badlega nasiba ek roz meri ma
bachke apne ghar se sukh jayega kaha
badlega nasiba ek roz meri ma
teri khusi meri khusi, gum tera mera gum
tere liye teri kasam, lunga mai so janam
tu nahi to dunia me, kuch nahi mera
teri ungali pakad ke chala
mamta ke aanchal me pala
maa o meri maa tu mera ladla
maa o meri maa mai tera ladla

By your finger, I learned to tread,
sheltered in your love I was bred.
By your finger, I learned to tread,
sheltered in your love I was bred.
Mother, oh my mother, your darling I,
Mother, oh my mother, your darling I.

As your shadow, I'll hold you near,
before God, your name, I'll hold dear.
As your shadow, I'll hold you near,
before God, your name, I'll hold dear.
I'll keep you safe, a prayer I'll weave,
tell me, without you, how could I live?
I am molded by your dreams, I call,
By your finger, I learned to tread,
sheltered in your love I was bred.
Mother, oh my mother, your darling I,
Mother, oh my mother, your darling I.

Fleeing home, where will joy reside?
My mother, your fate, I shall confide.
Fleeing home, where will joy reside?
My mother, your fate, I shall confide.
Your joy, my joy, your sorrow, my own,
for you, a thousand lives I'll have sown.
Without you, in this world, nothing's true,
By your finger, I learned to tread,
sheltered in your love I was bred.
Mother, oh my mother, your darling I,
Mother, oh my mother, your darling I.
