o maan pyaaree maa o maan pyaaree maa
too aaja mere paas ya
mujhe apane paas bula lo ree maan
o maan pyaaree maa
o maan pyaaree maa

vahee loree jo maa tu gaatee rahee
jisako ga ga ke tu sulaatee rahee
vahee loree mujhe phir suna de ree maa
vahee loree mujhe phir suna de ree maa
o maan pyaaree maan o maan pyaaree maa

tuna chhoda na mujhako akela kabhee
jis god mein tha khela kabhee
usee god mein mujhako khila le ree maa
usee god mein mujhako khila le ree maa
o maa pyaaree maa o maan pyaaree maa

Oh, tender mother, oh, beloved mother,
Come to me, or draw me near,
Summon me, Mother, to your side,
Oh, tender mother.

The lullaby you sang to me,
The song that lulled me into sleep,
Sing that lullaby to me again, Mother,
Sing it once more, Mother,
Oh, tender mother.

You never left me alone,
Never left me in solitude,
In the lap where I once played,
Cradle me there, Mother,
Cradle me there, Mother,
Oh, tender mother.

Without you, I know nothing now,
Without you, I'm lost and frail,
When I grieve, no one consoles,
Embrace your son again, Mother,
Embrace your son again, Mother,
Oh, tender mother.

Come to me, or draw me near,
Summon me, Mother, to your side,
Oh, tender mother,
Oh, tender mother.
