aayi hai
aayi hai kiran se bahare, gulshan jhum utha
khushiya khadi hai, baandhe katare
jivan jhum utha

koi nahi duniya me
o koi nahi duniya me, pyari maa ke barabar ka
na ghar ka na bahar ka, o koi nahi duniya me

bujhi huyi mamta ka deepak jalane
phir ek devi aayi hai
uske nicchhal naino me sneh ki
ganga si lahrayi hai
ganga si lahrayi hai, is gangajal me
o is gangajal me, dukh bhulega antar ka
na ghar ka na bahar ka, o koi nahi duniya me

lagta nahi tere aane se pahle
koi meri maa hogi
hogi bhi to tere jaisi mamtamayi na hogi
aisi mamtamayi na hogi
maiya tu to mere liye
o maiya tu to mere liye, vardan hai ishwar ka
na ghar ka na bahar ka, o koi nahi duniya me
pyari maa ke barabar ka, na ghar ka na bahar ka
o koi nahi duniya me

The sunbeams have arrived, and spring awakes,
The garden dances, joy in every guise.
Happiness, a legion, waits and takes
The heart to dancing, lifting up the skies.

None in this world, no other love,
Compares to a mother's sacred grace.
Neither within walls, nor from above,
None can fill her tender, holy space.

She comes to rekindle embers dim,
A goddess reborn, in purest light.
In her clear eyes, a loving hymn,
A Ganges flows, so pure and bright.
The Ganges flows, in waters deep,
Washing sorrows from the soul's dark keep.
Neither within walls, nor from above,
None can fill her tender, holy love.

Before you came, it seemed to me,
No mother could exist for me.
If one did live, with love so free,
No love would match your sanctity.
No love would match your tender care,
Mother, you are my gift, so rare.
Neither within walls, nor from above,
You are the gift of God's deep love.
None in this world, no other love,
Compares to a mother's grace above.
Neither within walls, nor from above,
None can fill her tender, holy love.
