maiya kaha chupa wo tera pyar hai
maiya kaha chupa wo tera pyar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai
kaha phulo ka tera wo har hai
kaha phulo ka tera wo har hai
yaha sar pe sada hi talwar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai

yuhi mile kyu jwala yuhi mile kyu jwala
ma jo jape teri mala
aaj sach ko anch lagi hai tera nyay nirala
hamne mana amrit tumse mila jahar ka pyala
hamne mana amrit tumse mila jahar ka pyala
aaj jhuth se sach ke muh par laga diya hai tala
laga diya hai tala
teri bhakti me shakti nisar hai
teri bhakti me shakti nisar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai

chup gaya chanda chup gaye tare sulag rahe angare
aaj bhawar me dub rahe jiwan ke dono kinare
chin raha hai chup chup ke koi sukh ke sabhi sahare
chin raha hai chup chup ke koi sukh ke sabhi sahare
tum bhi ruth gayi ho ma to kisko aaj pukare
maiya kaha chupa wo tera pyar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai
bada nirdayi tera sansar hai

Where does your love hide, Mother,
Where does your love hide?
Your world, a cruel, heartless other,
Your world, a cruel tide.
Where are the garlands of flowers,
Where do they reside?
Here, a sword hangs through all hours,
Your world, a cruel stride.

Why do flames meet us here,
Why this burning pyre?
Mother, your name we hold dear,
While truth meets fire.
We asked for the nectar, and poison you gave,
We asked for the cup,
Truth's mouth, with falsehood you've caved,
The truth is shut up.
In your devotion, all strength we do share,
In your grace we confide,
Your world, a cruel, heartless affair,
Your world, a cruel tide.

The moon has vanished, the stars gone to sleep,
Embers burn on,
In the whirlpool, our lives are lost deep,
Our shores are withdrawn.
Someone steals, from sight,
All that brings us joy,
Someone steals, from light,
Our life's deploy.
You too are angry, O Mother, who now do we call?
Where does your love hide,
Your world, a cruel, heartless thrall,
Your world, a cruel tide.
