o maa o maa o maa tere hum pyar ko dhunde kaha paye kaha
o maa tere hum pyar ko dhunde kaha paye kaha
tere bina suna lage suna lage sara jaha o maa o maa

tu hath sar par fer kar lori sunati thi kabhi
lipta kar sine se mujhe mera dar mitati thi kabhi
mera dar mitati thi kabhi o maa o maa
o maa tere hum pyar ko dhunde kaha paye kaha
o maa o maa

ruthe agar bin bat hum to bhi manati thi hame
aasu hamaare poch kar amrit pilati thi hame
amrit pilati thi hame o maa o maa
o maa tere hum pyar ko dhunde kaha paye kaha
o maa o maa

bhagwan tujhko kya mila mera nanha sa dil tod ke
tu apne pas bulale maa kaha chup gayi mujhe chhod ke
kaha chup gayi mujhe chhod ke o maa o maa
o maa tere hum pyar ko dhunde kaha paye kaha
o maa o maa

Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Oh Mother, where do we seek your love, where do we find it?
Oh Mother, where do we seek your love, where do we find it?
Without you, the world feels empty, desolate, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.

You once caressed my head, singing lullabies,
Holding me close, erasing all my fears,
erasing all my fears, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
Oh Mother, where do we seek your love, where do we find it?
Oh Mother, Oh Mother.

If we were ever upset, even without cause, you'd console us,
Wiping away our tears, feeding us nectar,
feeding us nectar, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
Oh Mother, where do we seek your love, where do we find it?
Oh Mother, Oh Mother.

What did God gain, breaking my small heart?
Call me to your side, Mother, where have you hidden, leaving me?
Where have you hidden, leaving me, Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
Oh Mother, where do we seek your love, where do we find it?
Oh Mother, Oh Mother.
