jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti
jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti
ro nahi maa jo tere pyar ke bichhade moti
jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti

ram ki leela kaun bataye, dekh jab kismat tujhko dikhaye
is mele ki reet yahi hai, milta jaaye bichhadta jaaye
khuni ki palak roti hai teri aankh nahi roti
jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti
ro nahi maa jo tere pyar ke bichhade moti
jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti

suraj duba chhand bujhane, jane kidhar gaye tutke taare
ab to rain bathrkar ninde bas ye sochke chup ho jaaye
tera pyar naa kho paaye, takdir rahe khoti
jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti
ro nahi maa jo tere pyar ke bichhade moti
jalti rahe teri mamta ki jyoti

May your lamp of love forever gleam,
May your lamp of love forever gleam.
Do not weep, Mother, for the pearls of love that drift,
May your lamp of love forever gleam.

Who can unravel Rama's play, when fate unveils its hand?
The way of this world's fair: to gather, then to disband.
The murderer's eye sheds tears, but yours does not, it seems.
May your lamp of love forever gleam.
Do not weep, Mother, for the pearls of love that drift,
May your lamp of love forever gleam.

The sun has set, the moon dimmed, where have the broken stars gone?
Now, through the night, sleep evaded, I fall silent, pondering on.
That your love I may not lose, though destiny may dream.
May your lamp of love forever gleam.
Do not weep, Mother, for the pearls of love that drift,
May your lamp of love forever gleam.
