main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya

chahe jod chahe tod chahe sine se laga
chahe phulo pe lita chahe kaanto pe sula
teri marji se jeena aur marna maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya

tera aanchal gagan teri god dharti
tu hai jag janni sabki raksha karti
sabki raksha karti
sari duniya hai tera jadu tona maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya

jo paale sabko wahi pran har le
ek maa duji maa ki god suni kar de
ek maa duji maa ki god suni kar de

aisa ho na kabhi ho na kabhi ho na maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya
god le aa de maati ka bichhauna maiya
main to tere hatho ka hu khilauna maiya
maiya maiya maiya maiya maiya

I am a toy within Your hands, Mother,
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother.
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother,
I am a toy within Your hands, Mother.

You may mend, You may break, You may hold me near,
Or on blooms recline me, or on thorns, my fear.
By Your will to live, by Your will to die, Mother,
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother,
I am a toy within Your hands, Mother.

Your veil, the heavens, Your lap, the earth's keep,
You are the world's Mother, all within Your sleep.
All within Your sleep.
The whole world, Your magic, Your mystery, Mother,
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother,
I am a toy within Your hands, Mother,
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother,
I am a toy within Your hands, Mother.

She who nurtures all, also takes life away,
One mother's lap emptied, another's dismay,
One mother's lap emptied, another's dismay.

May this never be, never be, never be, Mother,
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother,
I am a toy within Your hands, Mother,
Embrace me, lay me on earth's soft cover, Mother,
I am a toy within Your hands, Mother,
Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.
